From January to March this year, 142 new rapid Osprey EV charging stations went live in 10 weeks, equalling the number of charge points installed throughout 2022. The new figures refer to live charge points that are open for public use; another 50 chargers will be installed and made live this month.
“Over the next two years we will invest over £100m expanding our nationwide public charging network, establishing the much-needed national infrastructure that drivers can trust and rely on,” said Ian Johnston, the CEO of Osprey Charging Network.
Osprey is now the fourth largest rapid charging network with chargers across the UK, with a focus on meeting growing charging demand through four+ charger hubs that maximise availability and speed.
The network’s load-balancing hubs, first introduced to the UK in 2021, dynamically distribute available power in real time to cars as they need it. This means more charge points can be installed on a smaller grid connection than a traditional set up and no power is wasted.
