Based on airport land at Callerton Parkway, the super-fast charging facility will benefit a variety of customers including airport passengers, local commercial drivers such as taxi drivers waiting to pick up airport customers, commuters, and visitors to the region.
The station will comprise up to 12 charging bays, each of which is supplied by 100% renewable energy, and will be capable of adding up to 400 miles of range to fully electric cars in 20 minutes.
The new stations will feature Fastned’s iconic solar canopies that help EV drivers to locate the sites and stay dry while charging. Reliable and easy-to-use ultra-rapid chargers, as well as a range of payment methods, mean drivers can charge easily and with confidence, getting back on the road as quickly as possible.
The new station plans come as Fastned was ranked the joint best charging point operator in the UK in 2022, according to users of Zap Map, the UK’s leading charge point mapping service.
Prior to submitting the planning application, the Airport will be consulting with local residents who will be given the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposals.
