Osprey Charging has opened an ultra-rapid hub with sixteen new public charge points at the Lidl in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire.
The supermarket site was chosen for its excellent location on the A725, M74 and M8, serving both local drivers and commuters travelling across central Scotland.
Drivers can charge while shopping at Lidl, with the site designed as a high-capacity retail charging destination.
In addition, the charge points have a 24/7 free helpline assisting customers whenever they need it.
For business or fleet drivers, receipts can be obtained via the Osprey App and the chargers accept all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards.
Osprey has funded the installation and is overseeing the operation and maintenance of the charge points, all of which are powered by renewable energy.
The new hub forms part of Osprey’s continued investment in EV charging across Greater Glasgow and the west of Scotland, with 36 chargers installed in the past six months.
Osprey chargers typically add 100 miles of range in 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery level.
Accepting simple contactless payment via card or Apple/Google Pay, with no need to download an app, the up to 300kW charge points are also compatible with every EV currently on the market.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging said, “Scotland is seeing growth in EV adoption and reliable rapid charging infrastructure is critical to supporting that transition.
“We are continuing to expand our network across Glasgow and beyond, with Bellshill representing another major investment in convenient, ultra-rapid charging for local communities and drivers across the entire region.”
