Osprey Charging has announced plans for over 150 high-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs across the UK, totalling 1500 charging points, by 2025. The sites, which will be on strategic A-roads and adjacent to motorways, will have 150-175kW rapid chargers.
Construction is already underway at four sites and the first hub will open next month in Wolverhampton, adjacent to the A463 near the M6. Construction will commence on all of the first 10 hubs before the end of the year.

The £75 million rollout will use new charger optimisation technology for the first time in the UK. Kempower chargers work together to optimise charging across multiple vehicles when more than one EV is plugged in at the same charging hub. They allow power to be distributed based on demand, which varies significantly between individual vehicles due to the maximum charging rate of each model and its battery percentage at the point of charge. Osprey says this can reduce waiting times for charging, maximising the speed and availability of chargers for drivers, and increasing consumer footfall for the landowners hosting the hubs. The physical footprint of each charger is also reduced by 74%.
The hubs will be located near food and drink amenities, allowing drivers to make use of the facilities while they charge their car.
