The site is located just off the M8 and offers drivers travelling to and from Glasgow and the West Coast of Scotland up to 300 miles of range in 20 minutes. 

The launch means Fastned now has 26 hubs in the UK and its fourth charging hub in Scotland. Eight charging bays at the site will be supplied with 100% renewable energy.

Drivers charging at the Junction 24 hub will have access to a wide range of quick-stop amenities, including Greggs and Starbucks. Fastned’s reliable and easy-to-use ultra-rapid chargers, offering a range of payment methods, means drivers travelling to and from Glasgow can charge easily with confidence, and continue their journey as quickly as possible.

The new charging hub features Fastned’s illuminated yellow wings, which help EV drivers locate the site easily and show drivers who have not yet made the switch to electric that ultra-rapid charging is ready for them to make the leap.

Commenting on the new station, Tom Hurst, UK country manager, Fastned said: “Ultra-rapid charging is still very much needed in Scotland, and especially in the Glasgow area. I'm delighted to open our fourth ultra-rapid charging hub in Scotland, strengthening the public charging network and creating a vital asset for the community."
