Osprey Charging opens largest charging hub in Britain’s South-West
The hub includes 16 high-power points capable of 300kW, a coffee shop and convenience store.
Osprey Charging has opened the largest ultra-rapid EV charging hub in the South-West of United Kingdom. The hub is a 16-bay dedicated EV re-charging location at Salmon’s Leap.
The flagship 1.6 acre site is open and ready to serve the high volumes of seasonal traffic expected in Devon this summer. It will also provide local residents, businesses and visitors with reliable EV infrastructure.
The 16 high-power charge points at the hub are compatible with every rapid-charging vehicle on the market. Each is capable of 300kW charging for vehicles able to accept this high power, without wasting any power on lower-capability cars thanks to the latest innovative load-balancing technology. This means customers of the hub can add 100 miles of range in just 15-25 minutes.
Strawberry Fields farm shop opens on-site soon, offering a range of their own homemade and homegrown produce and many of their own bakery items and fresh ready meals. This will be alongside a coffee shop with plenty of their homemade ‘food to go’ options.
“Our largest site yet, it is a significant milestone for the Osprey team as we work tirelessly to ensure that our nationwide infrastructure deployment of rapid EV charging stations continues at an unprecedented pace,” said Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging.
Osprey installed as many chargers in the first quarter of this year as it did during the whole of 2022. From January to March this year, 142 new rapid Osprey EV charging stations went live in 10 weeks, equalling the number of charge points installed throughout 2022.
