Fastned brings fast-charging to west Scotland
The charging hub in question will initially have four charging bays set around two 400kW towers. It’s not the biggest hub, but given the speed and power of the chargers – Fastned says 100 miles of range in just five minutes – it’s unlikely that anyone will be waiting that long to charge. Fastned has said the site also has capacity to expand to eight charging bays total.
The new hub is located off Greenock’s Main Street at the roundabout that connects with Rue End Street, not far from Loch Lomond National Park. Like other Fastned charging hubs, it features a solar canopy covering the parking bays and is powered by 100% renewable energy. It’s the company’s fifth charging hub in Scotland and its 33rd in the UK as a whole.
Tom Hurst, UK Country Director of Fastned, said: “We’re delighted to open our fifth charging hub in Scotland, and provide much needed charging in an area with a low number of ultra-rapid chargers. Watch this space as there’s much more to come!”.
The company states that, as with other Fastned charging sites, there will be a variety of ways to pay. Fastned recently helped form the Spark Alliance of charging operators, meaning the hub should become available on the Spark app along with 11,000 others across Europe.
