February 7, 2023

Following over 100 High Power chargers installed in 2022, GRIDSERVE is accelerating into 2023 with 32 new High Power chargers opened at four new Electric Super Hubs in January.

The new High Power chargers, capable of up to 350kW and powered by net zero carbon energy, are located on some of the UK’s busiest roads. For those heading to Stonehenge on the A303, eight High Power chargers are now live at Solstice Park. On the M23, Pease Pottage has six High Power chargers while on the M4, Reading Westbound is now open with 12 High Power chargers. To help boost the charging network on the M40, Cherwell Valley has six High Power chargers for EV drivers.

With the installation of the 32 new chargers, there are now 173 High Power chargers installed at 16 Electric Super Hubs and two Electric Forecourts®. The GRIDSERVE Electric Highway now has chargers in 169 locations and is currently delivering over 10 million EV miles into the UK’s electric vehicles every month.

All GRIDSERVE chargers feature both CCS and CHAdeMO connectors, accept contactless payment and provide real-time status updates to a myriad of popular EV charging maps, making it as easy as possible for customers to charge their EVs.

Toddington Harper, CEO of GRIDSERVE, said: “We are thrilled to be building on the great progress we made in 2022 with four new Electric Super Hub locations opening in January alone. As the demand for electric vehicles and charging increases, it is vital we continue this pace to roll out the installation of High Power chargers to support EV drivers and those making the switch to electric. We look forward to continuing our vast expansion throughout the rest of 2023.”
