UK’s largest public EV charging hub of 38 fast and ultra-rapid chargers will deliver 100% renewable energy to EV drivers day and night.
Key milestone in the completion of UK’s £41m flagship city decarbonisation project, Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO) – part of ambitious plans to decarbonise Oxford by 2040.
First of up to 40 Superhubs being delivered by Pivot Power, uniquely combining energy storage and high-volume grid connections to quickly charge large numbers of EVs at the same time and enable more renewable energy for the UK.
ESO is a world-first project providing a global blueprint for cities across the world seeking to cut carbon and improve air quality.
Superhubs will help ensure UK has enough charging infrastructure for the estimated 36 million EVs on the road by 2040.
European fast charging company, Fastned, will build one of the largest stations in its pan-European network as part of ESO.
UK-based Pivot Power, part of EDF Renewables, and Oxford City Council, have joined up with Fastned, the European electric vehicle (EV) fast charging company, Tesla Superchargers and Wenea, one of the largest EV charging services providers in Europe, to deliver Europe’s most powerful EV charging Superhub in Oxford.
The hub, initially featuring 38 fast and ultra-rapid chargers in a single site, is the most powerful in Europe – with up to 10MW of power on site – and will scale up to help meet the need for EV charging in the area for the next 30 years. It is the first of up to 40 similar sites planned across the UK to help deliver charging infrastructure needed for the estimated 36 million EVs by 2040.
Unlike any other UK charging hub, the site, at Redbridge Park & Ride, is directly connected to the high voltage national electricity grid, to provide the power needed to charge hundreds of EVs at the same time quickly, without putting strain on the local electricity network or requiring costly upgrades. This innovative network, developed by Pivot Power, has capacity to expand to key locations throughout Oxford to meet mass EV charging needs, from buses and taxis to commercial fleets.
Fastned will initially install ten chargers at the Superhub with 300kW of power, capable of adding 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes for up to hundreds of EVs per day. The station will be powered by 100% renewable energy, partly generated by the company’s trademark solar roof, and all makes and models of EVs will be able to charge at the highest rates possible simultaneously - link - more like this (Superhub Oxford) - link
