E.ON accelerates Scotland’s EV future
Six new fast charging EV locations will be established across the country featuring 42 ultra-rapid chargers and strategically positioned on key routes from Edinburgh to Aberdeen.
E.ON has announced plans for new ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs at six sites across Scotland.
The 42 high-powered chargers will be installed in key locations near cities such as Dundee, Edinburgh, Stirling, and Dunfermline. These will join the company's first ultra-rapid hub in the country, already operational in Aberdeen.
The chargers will be capable of charging up to 42 vehicles at a time, each providing up to 150 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes.
"E.ON operates thousands of charging points right across Europe and these new hubs for Scotland are the latest part of a bigger drive to expand our EV charging network across the UK, part of a far wider expansion across the UK and another example of our commitment to creating greener infrastructure across the country,” said Dev Chana, Managing Director of E.ON Drive Infrastructure UK.
The rollout marks a significant milestone in the firm’s commitment to making electric driving more convenient, helping to accelerate the transition and driving the energy transition across the UK.
While Scotland has the second-largest geographic EV charging network in the UK, the distances between chargers can create challenges for drivers. The development will not only be E.ON’s first public EV charging hub in Scotland, it will also bridge critical gaps in infrastructure, making charging more accessible.
