Charging infrastructure provider, FOR EV, has installed new chargers at a Tesco Express in Aberdeen, able to charge a typical vehicle from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes.
The new 200kW charging hub on Great Northern Road, less than a ten-minute drive from the city centre, is equipped with three dual charging points and six connectors.
It is the latest charging site launched by Cedarwood Asset Management, including recently unveiled hubs at Sainsbury’s Inverkip in Inverclyde and Toolstation Montrose.
The next step of the expansion will be FOR EV’s delivery of a further site in Fraserburgh.
Together, these hubs – providing a combined total of 22 connectors – will deliver a megawatt of power between them.
FOR EV is supported by funding from The Scottish National Investment Bank and live status and availability of its charge points can be found 24/7 on the Zapmap app.
John Ross, Business Development Manager at FOR EV, said, “We have a strong and growing relationship with Cedarwood Asset Management.
“Delivering a third site enables us to provide user-friendly EV charging infrastructure to a wider range of drivers across Scotland.
“It’s important for retail businesses and landowners to recognise the need for infrastructure as not only an essential provision for EV owners but also an opportunity to attract new customers.”
Paul Jenkins, Director at Cedarwood Asset Management, said, “We are delighted to have completed another deal with FOR EV and are sure that the public and staff of the tenants on this site will benefit significantly from this additional facility.”
