GRIDSERVE announces EV charging rollout

The Electric Hubs will feature six to twelve 350kW ultra high-power chargers with contactless payment, and will be capable of adding up to 100 miles of range in less than ten minutes. The majority are planned to be installed by the end of March, with a further 50 additional sites to follow in the next phase.

Two Electric Forecourts situated adjacent to major transport routes and motorways, including a flagship site at Gatwick Airport, are also in construction and due to open in 2022. Several additional sites now also have planning permission, with more than 30 additional sites also under development as part of the company's commitment to deliver over 100 Electric Forecourts.

The investment programme forms part of GRIDSERVE’s mission to ‘revolutionise EV charging’ across the UK, following the acquisition of Ecotricity’s Electric Highway network in June. Some of the Electric Hubs are also located in areas traditionally left behind in the EV transition, including Wales and Cornwall.
