Osprey Charging acquires land for ultra-rapid public EV charging hub at A46 Twyford Services in UK

Osprey Charging has completed the freehold purchase of a two acre plot at Twyford Services on the A46, near Evesham.

This will enable the development of an EV charging hub, with planning permission and grid connection for 16 300kW ultra-rapid chargers already secured.

The new development is one of hundreds of EV charging hubs being built by Osprey Charging across the UK, supported by the company’s recent investment boost from Cube Infrastructure Management and Investec Bank.

Located at the Twyford Services, on the A46 linking Cheltenham, Evesham and Coventry, the site is pitched as an ideal location for an ultra-rapid charging hub that will serve both local residents and long distance travellers.

The site is already home to several well known tenants, including Costa Coffee, KFC, Premier Inn, Beefeater Restaurant, and Texaco Petrol Station.

Ian Johnston, CEO at Osprey Charging, says: “We are continuing to ramp up our fast-paced roll-out of public EV chargers, and the acquisition of this two-acre site at Twyford Services is another great step forward for our network, and for the UK’s EV drivers.”

“Purchasing freehold sites is an important strategy for us, offering greater flexibility and control over the design of the charging hub, ultimately making it more user-friendly for our customers.”

“With planning permission secured for 16 chargers to be installed at the hub, this acquisition will provide EV drivers with a high quality and reliable charging solution in a key location on the UK’s road network.”

“The 16 chargers at Twyford Services will be another successful example of our hub strategy, with 10 high powered hubs already delivered this year alone, keeping us on track to hit our target of installing 30 hubs by year’s end.”
