A company, Engenie, is installing 400 chargers at 200 of Marstone \u2018s sites, a listed brewer and pub chain. This is the first tie-up in its industry to announce the installation of rapid charging stations for electric vehicles across its estate. The CEO of Enegenie, Ian Johnston, said the tie-up is an example of how there could be unexpected winners as electric vehicle adoption picks up. \u201cRapid\u201d in this context means 80 miles of charge to vehicles in 20 to 30 minutes, which, of course, is considerably longer than it takes to fill-up a car tank at a petrol station. Mr Johnston believes that rather than hanging around on a forecourt, drivers of electric cars will be more inclined to shop or to get a meal or a coffee while they charge, meaning that retail and hospitality companies have an opportunity to draw in customers and to get existing ones to visit more often. \u201cThere is a change of behaviour required,\u201d he said. \u201cWe think rapid charging will mean people will sit down, check their emails, have a meal. Other pub chains are looking at now. They understand where this market is heading.\u201d Engenie intends to install more than 2,000 rapid charging points across the UK at sites such as retail parks, restaurants, supermarkets and pubs. On average rapid charge costs \u00a36 to \u00a38, or about 9p per mile. As well as offering a profit share from charging revenues, the company pays for the infrastructure, installation and runs the service, in return for being able to access its partners\u2019 land and customers. However, if retail and hospitality industries want to exploit the rise of the electric car, first-mover advantage might be critical. \u201cThe grid is the biggest hurdle to deploying chargers across the UK,\u201d Mr Johnston said. While slow chargers, such as the free ones available outside hundreds of Tesco stores, can be plugged into the store\u2019s electricity supply, rapid chargers require their own electrical infrastructure. Once a pub, for instance, has a rapid charger, a rival down the road would likely be priced out because of the resulting demands being placed on the grid. \u201cOnce that power is gone, the next person will need an electricity sub-station. \u201c That would cost about \u00a3100,000 and would require a 100-year lease from the UK Power Networks. \u201cIf you have got KFC, McDonald\u2019s and Burger King on a road, one will have the charger in, the other two can\u2019t.\u201d Mamak restaurants in Malaysia\u00a0\u00a0 Mamak means Indian Muslims. Mamak restaurants, which are numerous in Malaysia, offer a 24-hours dining, from breakfast, lunches, dinners and suppers. The foods they serve are cheap, such as \u201croti chanai\u201d, Mamak mee, nasi kandar and tandoori chicken. At a minimum, you can have a stretched tea and &quot;roti chanai\u201d costing about RM2.00 (40p) . Inside a Mamak restaurant These restaurants could become the new refuelling stations for electric cars in the future, while having stretched tea and eating a curry fried chicken. Today, most Mamak restaurants offer free WIFI and free British football matches.
