EV infrastructure specialist Zest has installed four ultra-rapid charge points next to the latest phase of residential dwellings at the Riverdale Park development in Doncaster.
Situated on Argo Drive, off Wheatley Hall Road, the chargers are designed to provide people with easy access to convenient EV charging near their homes and local amenities.
The new facilities, which provide drivers with up to 80% charge in 20 minutes, are also close to the Wheatley Centre Shopping Park and Argo Drive’s Costa Coffee.
Based in Leeds, Zest is backed by the Government-sponsored Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF) which means it can invest in larger projects that anticipate future demand, as well as act more quickly to deliver essential EV infrastructure.
Callum Foley, Development Manager at Harworth Group, said, “Our Riverdale Park development has provided Doncaster residents with high-quality, affordable homes in a well-connected location.
“By working with Zest, we’ve been able to enhance local infrastructure, ensuring residents have easy access to EV charging as they transition to greener transport.”
Robin Heap, CEO at Zest, said, “Zest is dedicated to installing and operating EV charging infrastructure in areas where it makes the biggest difference.
“By working with developers like Harworth Group, we’re ensuring that homeowners, businesses and communities have reliable charging options right on their doorstep.”
Zest also recently announced it will provide 144 EV charging spaces across 77 locations in Newport, Gwent, under a 15-year concession agreement.
The project will be equally funded by Zest, the Welsh government, and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles’ On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme.
