Gridserve has opened a new electric super hub at Solstice Park, Wiltshire.
Located within a RO Group development at Solstice Park, the super hub has eight 350kW-capable high-power chargers.
The chargers are powered by 100% net zero energy from Gridserve’s hybrid solar and battery farms and capable of adding 100 miles in as little as five minutes.
Toddington Harper, chief executive officer of Gridserve, said: “We’re proud to be alongside some great recent additions to the customer experience at this location
“In 2021, we opened one electric super hub, in 2022 we have opened 11 new locations and in 2023, we aim to continue to accelerate.
“Every new charging location makes a positive impact on moving the needle on climate change, enabling more electric journeys and giving those drivers yet to make the switch, the confidence to move to an electric vehicle.”
The chargers feature both CCS and CHAdeMO connectors as well as a larger bay to help with accessibility.
Chargers are also displayed on electric vehicle (EV) charging maps and accept contactless payments.
In 2022, Gridserve installed more than 100 high powered chargers across 11 electric super hubs and the second Electric Forecourt opening in Norwich.
The company said the growth is set to continue into this year, with an Electric Forecourt due to open at London Gatwick and it has plans to open more Electric Super Hubs.
A new Government plan has set out steps to unlock the potential of smart EV charging.
