Osprey Charging has launched the first of five large ultra-rapid charging hubs with new landlord partner Legal & General (L&G), one of Europe’s largest asset management companies. 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 sixteen 300kW ultra-rapid charge points in Watford are compatible with every EV on the market today and can typically add 100 miles of range in just 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.
Easy to use and designed with simple payment for drivers, Osprey Chargers accept payment within the Zapmap app, contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, and the Osprey App and RFID card.
Osprey is a multi-award-winning network and a Zapmap ‘Driver Recommended Network’ for the fifth consecutive year.
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”
Osprey funds the installation and oversees the operation and maintenance of the chargers, all of which are powered by renewable energy. L&G’s EV charging strategy shows its commitment to future-proofing its assets while enhancing long-term value for tenants and retail customers alike.
