Located near Dundee, Edinburgh, Stirling and Dunfermline, the hubs will feature 42 ultra-rapid chargers, each capable of delivering up to 150 miles of range in 10 minutes. The new sites will join E.On’s first ultra-rapid hub in Scotland, already operational in Aberdeen. With a combined charging capacity of 12.6MW, equivalent to the power needs of 40,000 UK homes, the chargers mark a significant milestone in E.On’s commitment to making electric driving more convenient.
The Aberdeen hub, already operational at Wellington Circle, south of the city, features 12 ultra- rapid charging bays, including four designed with additional accessibility for disabled users. It’s E.On’s most northerly EV charging station in the UK and strategically positioned at the gateway to the ‘Granite City’ to offer EV charging for drivers travelling in and out of the area.
Dev Chana, managing director of E.On Drive Infrastructure UK, said:
“Our goal is to make electric driving seamless and accessible for everyone and these new charging hubs are a significant step forward in Scotland’s transition to cleaner transportation. But this is just the start. E.On operates thousands of charging points right across Europe and these new hubs for Scotland are the latest part of a bigger drive to expand our EV charging network across the UK, and another example of our commitment to creating greener infrastructure across the country.”
