EV charging network firm Osprey Charging has completed the freehold purchase of a two-acre plot at Twyford Services on the A46, near Evesham.
The strategic acquisition will enable the development of a class-leading EV charging hub, with planning permission and grid connection for 16 300kW ultra-rapid chargers already secured, it said.
The new development is one of hundreds of EV charging hubs being built by the company, supported by its new investment from Cube Infrastructure Management and Investec Bank.
The purchase is the latest freehold acquisition from Osprey following its Salmon’s Leap hub in Devon, and the recent acquisition of a site in Paisley, Scotland. Further announcements are expected in 2024, it said.
Located at the Twyford Services, on the busy A46 linking Cheltenham, Evesham and Coventry, the site is an ideal location for an ultra-rapid charging hub that will serve both local residents and long-distance travellers, providing a much-needed boost to the region’s EV infrastructure.
The company highlighted the new Labour government’s plans to bring back the ban on new sales of ICE vehicles to 2030 in the announcement, and said that “the demand for reliable and accessible EV charging infrastructure continues to grow”.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said:
“Osprey is continuing to ramp up our fast-paced roll-out of public EV chargers. The acquisition of this two-acre site at Twyford Services is another step forward for our network and for the UK’s EV drivers.”
