Rapid-charging firm Osprey Charging has launched the first of five large ultra-rapid charging hubs with new landlord partner Legal & General (L&G).
In total, the partnership is set to deliver 72 charge points across six locations from the South East to the North West of England.
The first hub includes sixteen 300kW ultra-rapid charge points in Watford, compatible with every EV on the market today, it claimed, and can typically add 100 miles of range in 15-20 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery.
Located at Woodside Leisure Park, close to the M1 and M25, they provide an ideal spot to power up during a coffee break at the on-site Starbucks.
A second 16-bay ultra-rapid charging hub at L&G’s Highbridge Retail Park, Waltham Abbey in Essex, is set to launch in May.
The new Hertfordshire hub is a crucial part of Osprey’s roll-out of public charging infrastructure in key locations across the UK, it said.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said:
“The roll-out of EV charging facilities is quickly gathering pace and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for all drivers, from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
“Osprey now has over 1,300 charging bays available in convenient locations across the UK, carefully designed to maximise space, reliability and ease of use. The new charging hubs across England with Legal & General will form a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK”
