Osprey Charging has boosted access to public charging in Merseyside with 24 new high-power EV chargers installed at new hubs in Rainhill and Prescot.
Located at Manor Farm pub in Rainhill, just off the M62 between Liverpool and Manchester, and Cables Shopping Park, the chargers can be used by shoppers or people stopping off the motorway for a coffee break.
The 300kW rapid charge points can typically add 100 miles of range in 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery.
Designed with simple payment for drivers, Osprey chargers accept contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards.
Manor Farm will be the largest rapid EV charging hub in the Merseyside area, and the largest hub in Osprey’s longstanding partnership with landlord Marston’s PLC.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said its new Merseyside hub is a crucial part of its roll-out of public charging infrastructure in key locations across the UK.
He added, “The roll-out of EV charging facilities is quickly gathering pace and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for all drivers, from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
“Osprey now has over 1,300 charging bays available in convenient locations across the UK, carefully designed to maximise space, reliability and ease of use.
“The new charging hubs in Merseyside form a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”
