Parking and expanded EV charging available at Fleet & Mobility Live

Delegates to this year’s Fleet & Mobility Live will be able to take advantage of expanded electric vehicle (EV) charging and parking at the NEC at this year’s show.

The two day event, brought to you by Fleet News, is being held on October 3 & 4 and delegates that may have been planning on taking the train may want to consider other travel arrangements for day two due to the planned rail strike action.

Delegates can pre-book parking and destination charging in advance at the NEC at a discounted rate here.

It’s also possible to review travel options through the National Rail Enquiries Journey Planner.

EV drivers will be able use the new Gigahub, which has been launched by BP Pulse, The EV Network (EVN) and NEC Group, with a capacity to share 180 EVs simultaneously.

The Gigahub is equipped with 30 ultra-fast 300KW DC chargers and a further 150 points for 7kW charging.

The ultra-fast chargers cost 85p per kWh and are available on-demand. The 7kW units are pre-bookable, only, and cost 59p per kWh to use. BP Pulse subscribers get a 20% discount on the charging rates.

Users do not need to pay for parking at the ultra-fast charger bays, but the 7kW destination chargers are treated like parking spaces and incur a £12.50 parking charge for the day.

Visitors to the Gigahub will have access to a new Starbucks Coffee drive-thru.
