A new ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hub has been opened by RAW Charging in Croydon.

The ChargeYard, located near to the Valley Retail Park, will mean drivers can charge vehicles in 30 minutes, providing access to fast charging for local businesses, taxi drivers and visitors to the area.

Four dual Alpitronic 150 kW chargers will feature at the facility, which will allow eight vehicles to charge simultaneously. The ultra-rapid DC chargers have an average charge time of 30-40 minutes for a full charge with an option to pay to charge through contactless debit and credit cards, a mobile app, or RFID cards.

The hub is the latest addition to RAW’s charging infrastructure portfolio that stretches across London and the wider UK.

Speaking about the installation, Bruce Galliford, RAW Charging CEO, said: “The launch of our latest ChargeYard will provide a vital EV charging resource for the people of Croydon. Based in the town centre, the new location will be of great benefit to those who live and work in the area.”

“By converting previously disused land we are bringing sites back into use in a sustainable way while providing a crucial resource. “We hope increasing the availability of charging infrastructure will encourage more individuals to embrace electric vehicles as we move towards the UK’s net carbon zero future.”
