Good Energy Group PLC on Monday said its investee Zap-Map has raised money via Series A fundraising.

The £9 million fundraise is focused on clean power. Good Energy invested £3.7 million ‘to make it simple for people to generate, share, store, use and travel with clean power.’

Good Energy, a Chippenham, England-based renewable energy supplier, added the fundraise values electric vehicle charge point mapping service Zap-Map at £26.3 million.

Chief Executive Officer of Good Energy and Zap-Map Chair Nigel Pocklington described the investment as a ‘huge boost for Zap-Map’s growth plans. There are over half a million EV drivers in the UK, with millions more switching to electric in the coming years. It is a race towards zero-emission transport and Zap-Map is placed right at the front of the field, where we plan to keep it.’

Following the transaction, Good Energy will have a 49.9% stake in Zap-Map. Fuel card and payment provider Fleetcor UK Acquisition Ltd, which invested £3.7 million as well, will have a 19.9% stake.

Good Energy shares were 4.8% higher at 249.40 pence each in London on Monday at midday.
