Osprey Charging has boosted access to public charging in Lancashire with the expansion of its public EV charging hub at the Alexandra Retail Park in Oldham.
Eight new 300kW charge points have been installed by Osprey, taking the total number of chargers at the hub to ten.
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.
Its two pre-existing 50kW chargers are for drivers taking a longer break.
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.
The charging company has funded this installation and operation and will oversee maintenance of the chargers which are all supplied with renewable energy.
Brookhouse Group – the landlord for the site – will also benefit from a future-proofed car park and being able to attract more EV drivers as customers.
Osprey charging locations are consistently scored highly for safety and accessibility by independent inspection body ChargeSafe.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging said, “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 Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.
“Osprey now has over 1,200 charging bays available to use across the UK, each carefully designed to maximise space, accessibility and made to the latest and highest standards.
“The upgraded charging hub in Oldham will form a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”
