Osprey Charging has boosted access to public charging in Norfolk with eight high-powered EV chargers installed at Hirst's Farm Shop & Café in Great Yarmouth, supporting local residents, businesses and visitors with reliable EV infrastructure.

The 300kW rapid charge points 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.

Situated at Hirst's Farm Shop & Café in Ormesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, the chargers are an
ideal place to charge an EV whilst enjoying a short break.

Easy to use and designed with simple payment for drivers, Osprey Chargers accept Zap-Pay, contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments.

 All of this has contributed to Osprey’s ranking by Zapmap as a ‘Driver Recommended Network’ for the fourth consecutive year, as well as being named ‘Best EV Charging Network’ at the Transport and Energy Awards.

Osprey Charging is dedicated to delivering super-fast, simple and convenient charging to all EV
drivers, and the new Norfolk site is a crucial part of Osprey’s roll-out of public charging infrastructure in key locations across the UK. 

“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 Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. Osprey now has over 1,100 charge points available to use across the UK, each carefully designed to maximise space and accessibility, and made to the latest and highest standards," said Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging.

"The new charging hub in Great Yarmouth will form a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”


Osprey funded this installation and oversees the operation and maintenance of the chargers, all of
which are powered by renewable energy. Hirst’s Farm Shop benefits from a future-proofed car park
and being able to attract more EV drivers as customers.

And, thanks to a live data partnership with Zapmap, users of the Zapmap app and web map can easily access the live status and availability of all Osprey charge points, making planning for charging simple.
