E.On announces ultra-rapid charging expansion

E.On has announced plans for new ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs at six sites. 

The 42 high-powered chargers will be installed in key locations in Scotland near cities such as Dundee, Edinburgh, Stirling, and Dunfermline. 

The new chargers will join E.On’s first ultra-rapid hub in Scotland, already operational in Aberdeen.

The Aberdeen hub features 12 ultra-rapid charging bays, including four designed to provide additional accessibility for disabled users. 

Dev Chana, managing director of E,On Drive Infrastructure UK, said: “Our goal is to make electric driving seamless and accessible for everyone, and these new charging hubs are a significant step forward in Scotland’s transition to cleaner transportation. But this is just the start.

“E.On operates thousands of charging points right across Europe and these new hubs for Scotland are the latest part of a bigger drive to expand our EV charging network across the UK, part of a far wider expansion across the UK and another example of our commitment to creating greener infrastructure across the country.”

In 2024, the company introduced 72 ultra-fast charging bays across England and Wales.

The latest of these hubs included an ultra-fast public EV charging hub in Wales featuring 10 ultra-fast chargers, and at Selby, in Yorkshire, just off the A63 with six 300kW charging points.

On the residential front, E.On has also installed around 8,000 home chargers and 2,000 chargers for small businesses, enabling more than 50 million miles of EV charging in 2024 alone.
