Marking its one millionth connection, Last Mile Asset Management has energised and adopted the electricity connection to Moto Hospitality’s new Moto CHARGE hub at Tamworth, taking responsibility for the high-capacity electricity infrastructure required to power one of the UK’s most advanced motorway charging sites.
As a strategic delivery partner, Last Mile Asset Management played a key supporting role in the project, energising and adopting the infrastructure that would meet the significant electricity demands of both electric passenger vehicles and electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs). Located at a key motorway service station on the M42, the hub demanded significant engineering, coordination and delivery expertise to create what is reliable, available and high-capacity infrastructure.
Last Mile Asset Management was a key stakeholder from the first stages of the project, working with the local electricity distribution network owner and our partners GRIDSERVE and Actemium to create a 33kV connection, an onsite primary substation and four secondary substations. This specialised infrastructure supports 24 bays for passenger vehicles and a further eight bays specifically dedicated to eHGVs, representing a major expansion of public charging infrastructure in the West Midlands.
The Moto Tamworth project demonstrates that Last Mile Asset Management is not only the adoption partner of choice, but also a trusted member of the delivery team – capable of unlocking the most challenging aspects of EV infrastructure deployment. As the industry pushes toward nationwide electrification, particularly for freight, the ability to secure, build and energise high-capacity grid connections continues to be invaluable.
Michael Blake, Managing Director at Last Mile said:
“Marking our one millionth utility connection, this project represents a significant milestone for Last Mile. Our proactive engagement with all stakeholders throughout this complex project ensured that the energisation and adoption went smoothly. The result is transformative, future ready infrastructure at this key motorway location. We’re delighted to continue our strong partnership with Moto, building on the significant portfolio of work we are now delivering together and supporting their long-term ambitions.”
Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto Hospitality, commented:
“The launch of Moto CHARGE at our Tamworth site is a landmark moment not just for Moto, but for the UK’s entire logistics sector. By introducing dedicated, open-access eHGV bays alongside high-capacity passenger charging, we are directly addressing the infrastructure gap that has held back commercial fleet decarbonisation. Together with our partners, including Actemium, GRIDSERVE and Last Mile, we are delivering the reliable, ultra-rapid power supply chain managers need, while taking a crucial step forward in our £500 million commitment to transform the UK’s motorway network. Our goal is to provide a scalable blueprint that proves this is possible and encourages the wider industry and public sector collaboration needed to build a truly national network.”
Daniel Kunkel, CEO of GRIDSERVE, said:
“This milestone demonstrates what can be achieved when industry leaders work together with a shared ambition to accelerate transport decarbonisation. At GRIDSERVE, our role is to provide the reliable, super-fast charging infrastructure that gives drivers and fleet operators the confidence to make the transition to electric. We are proud to support Moto’s vision and, alongside Actemium, help deliver the resilient, future-ready charging solutions that will underpin the next generation of passenger and commercial transport.”
The scale of the Tamworth development highlights a growing reality within EV infrastructure: the hardest challenges are not with the chargers, but with the securing the necessary grid connection. Connecting sites with the capacity to support eHGV charging requires navigating constrained networks, securing high-voltage connections, and delivering assets that can handle sustained, high-load demand – areas where Last Mile’s involvement proved critical.
