A TOTAL of three high-powered electric vehicle (EV) chargers have been installed at Clwyd Retail Park in Rhuddlan.

The 75kW rapid charge points are compatible with every EV on the market and can typically add 100 miles of range in just 35 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery.

Installed by Osprey Charging, the chargers are designed with simple payment for drivers, and 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.

This installation is expected to encourage EV uptake in the area, bolstering the UK’s national charging infrastructure as well as improving air quality, reducing noise pollution and supporting decarbonisation efforts.

Ian Johnston, chief executive of Osprey Charging, said: “The electric transition is well underway and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for drivers, from Cornwall to Scottish Highlands.

“Each of our new locations is carefully designed to maximise space, accessibility and availability of chargers, working to the latest and highest standards.

“This new charging site in Rhuddlan is a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”

Osprey is attempting to increase EV uptake across the country ahead of the 2035 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles.

The company has funded this installation, operation and oversees maintenance of the chargers which are all supplied with renewable energy.

Ediston, the landlord for the site, benefits from a future-proofed car park and being able to attract more EV drivers as customers.
