UK: One of Europe's most powerful EV fast charging station to open in Oxford
The Energy Superhub Oxford will have up to 14 fast chargers and there will be 12 Tesla Superchargers on site, providing a speed charging rate of up to 300 kW.
Fastned, the European fast charging company, teams up with Oxford City Council, Pivot Power and Wenea to build and operate one of it’s largest fast charging stations at the upcoming Energy Superhub Oxford, United Kingdom, according to a company’s press release.
The Fastned station will have up to 14 fast chargers and there will be 12 Tesla Superchargers on site. It will be one of Europe's most powerful electric vehicle fast charging hubs, with up to 10MW of power available for future expansion. The hub is due to open at the end of 2021.
At the Fastned charging station, initially 10 electric vehicles will be able to charge simultaneously at rates of up to 300 kW, allowing drivers to add up to 300 miles of range in 20 minutes. The Fastned station will be powered by energy from the sun and wind, generated partly on-site by its trademark solar canopy. Fastned can expand the station with 4 additional chargers.
This EV charging hub is the first of a number of similar sites planned by Pivot Power across the United Kingdom, and will become part of the growing Fastned network in the United Kingdom. The Energy Superhub is located on Oxford’s ring road and integrates with the Redbridge Park and Ride facility.
