New EV forecourt in Norwich will service every EV model ever sold in the UK

New EV forecourt in Norwich will service every EV model ever sold in the UK

Gridserve recently opened its second EV-dedicated charging service station in Norwich.

The site, which is located at Broadland Gate Business Park on A47, has 22 ultra-fast 350kW

Chargepoints, which can provide up to 100 miles of range in just 5 minutes and eight Tesla Superchargers. These are some of the 36 chargers available at the site which will collectively be compatible with any EV sever old in Britain.

Charging rates will be 45p per kilowatt hour (kWh) to use the ultra-fast chargers which, according to Gridserve, is the cheapest price for such rapid charging speeds across the public network. Use of the six lower power units will be charged at 39p per kWh.

Gridserve’s first charging service station in Essex, opened sixteen months ago, has already resulted in a significant 82 per cent uptake of EVs in the area. This is more than double the average EV growth rate in the UK.

The new EV service station will help towards rectifying Norwich’s severe lack of charging infrastructure and allow for more EV uptake in the area, which could soon become essential as the viability of a zero emission charging zone in the city is being assessed.

The Norwich site is the first ‘compact’ electric forecourt. Despite being significantly smaller than the Essex site, the two-storey building provides equivalent facilities using 100 per cent renewable energy from Gridserve’s solar farms.

According to This Is Money, who visited the forecourt prior to its opening, Gridserve will introduce a third, smaller version of the forecourt, ‘Flexible’, in selected urban areas.
