The 75kW add 100 miles of range in just 35 minutes, depending on the vehicle model and its battery. Situated next to the Bird in Hand pub; restaurant and hotel, the chargers are an ideal place to charge an EV whilst enjoying a drink or grabbing a bite to eat.
The chargers have been designed to be easy to use with simple payment for drivers, accepting contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards. The chargers utilise Osprey’s in-house software, Osprey Iris, to aid reliability and innovation in EV roaming.
The installation is expected to encourage EV uptake in the area, bolstering the UK’s national charging infrastructure as well as improving local air quality, reducing noise pollution and supporting local decarbonisation efforts.
“We’re delighted to launch this flagship charging location that brings the latest in rapid charging technology to Berkshire” said Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging. “The electric transition is well underway and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for drivers, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. Osprey now has over 800 charge points installed across the UK, each carefully designed to maximise space, accessibility and availability and made to the latest and highest standards. This new charging site at the Bird in Hand in Knowl Hill is a vital part of the re-charging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”
