AFC Energy Appoints Leading UK Charge Point Executive as National EV Charging
Sales Manager

AFC Energy (AIM: AFC), a leading provider of hydrogen power generation
technologies, is pleased to announce it has appointed Tom Pollard, a leading
EV charge point executive in the UK, as its National EV Sales Manager
effective immediately.

Formerly General Manager of Rolec EV, Mr Pollard was a large contributor to
the success of Rolec's EV charge point business with an extensive customer
network spanning the UK's leading EV fleet, Government and charge point
operators.

Upon commencement in the role, he will be responsible for generating new and
responding to AFC Energy's growing number of commercial enquiries into the
Company's new H-Power EV Charger system and building our business alongside
AFC Energy's executive team.

"Having seen firsthand the exponential growth in EVs and EV charge points here
in the UK and across Europe in recent years, I'm fully aware of the challenges
that exist for industry in sourcing power from constrained or non-existent
power grids.  Having worked alongside AFC Energy over the past year in my
previous position, I'm confident the solution AFC Energy offers industry is
not only an enabler for the deployment of the country's EV ambitions, but also
presents a sustainable alternative which is an increasingly exciting
opportunity not only for the Company but for me personally" said Mr
Pollard.

Adam Bond, Chief Executive Officer at AFC Energy, said "The growing number of
inbound enquiries into AFC Energy's H-Power EV Charging solution through the
success of our recent national roadshow has been welcomed and has driven the
need to commence recruitment of new sales and commercial capability to further
enhance our go to market capabilities.  Tom presents us not only with
enthusiasm and knowledge of the sector, but also a network of contacts across
our industry second to none and his willingness to join us in this journey to
support the decarbonisation of the UK's transportation sector further
validates the opportunities we are now seeing in this exciting growth market
for AFC Energy".
