Zest has opened an ultra-rapid EV charging facility in Edmonton, North London, providing the community with access to convenient charging.
Situated on Fairfield Road, just off the busy North Circular Road, the facility offers 18 charging spaces running at speeds of up to 300kW for residents, businesses and private hire cars.
It forms part of Zest’s growing EV charging network across London, which includes sites with Hackney Council, Brent Council, and Transport for London (TfL).
Zest, which is backed by the government-sponsored Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), is one of the UK’s fastest growing investor-operators of public access EV charging infrastructure.
The Leeds-based company works in partnership with local authorities and the real estate sector across the UK.
Councillor Rick Jewell, Cabinet Member for Transport & Waste, Enfield Council, said, “This is an important development for Edmonton as we continue to support cleaner, more sustainable travel.
“Reliable access to ultra-rapid EV charging is essential to help more people make the switch to electric vehicles.
“These new charging spaces on Fairfield Road provide the kind of infrastructure our community needs to be part of the transition to a greener future.”
Robin Heap, CEO at Zest, said, “Public charging must keep pace with the rapid growth of EV adoption, particularly in London where private driveways are less common.
“Ultra-rapid facilities like this one on Fairfield Road represent a vital investment in Edmonton’s future – supporting residents, local businesses and private hire drivers.
“They make sustainable transport a more practical choice while playing a meaningful role in the area’s broader regeneration.”
