> [in the UK] the largest one owns like 90% of the stations

This article says that Ubitricity has the largest network of electric charging points. I can't reconcile that with your statement about 90%. Which provider were you referring to there?

I can't remember the name, I've just sat in a bunch of business meetings where they kept saying the problem with the UK was we couldn't get access to the market because one company, whose name got mentioned a few times but not enough to remember, had 90% and wouldn't work with us or anyone because they make more money without partnerships. It could be the 90% are connected to a hub and the hub won't work with us. We have direct connections with CPOs (Charing Point Operators) and then we have connections with hubs, most of our CPOs come via a hub like Hubject.
