Osprey Charging, the UK’s leading and fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) rapid-charging network, has boosted access to public charging in South Gloucestershire with 16 high-powered EV chargers installed within the car park of the Willow Brook shopping centre in Bradley Stoke.
The 300kW rapid-charge points are compatible with every EV on the market today and can typically add 100 miles of range in just 15 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery.
Easy to use and designed with simple payment for drivers, Osprey Chargers accept contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments, as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said:
“The roll-out of EV charging facilities is quickly gathering pace and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for all drivers, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. Osprey now has over 1,000 charge points available to use across the UK, each carefully designed to maximise space, accessibility and made to the latest and highest standards. The new charging hub in Bradley Stoke will form a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”
A company spokesperson added:
“As EV uptake increases across the country ahead of the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles, more and more of South Gloucestershire’s visitors will look for EV charging as standard. As such, this installation will encourage EV uptake in the area, bolstering the UK’s national charging infrastructure as well as improving local air quality, reducing noise pollution and supporting local decarbonisation efforts.”
Osprey has funded this installation and oversees maintenance of the chargers – which are all supplied with 100 percent renewable energy.
Supermarket REIT, the landlord of the Willow Brook Centre, benefits from a future-proofed car park and being able to attract more EV drivers as customers.
