Siemens and Osprey Charging are to collaborate to speed up commissioning of electric vehicle (EV) charging sites across the UK.
Siemens will become a preferred supplier of end-end meter operator services Osprey Charging Networks’ sites. It will commission and install meters at each EV charge point.
Osprey Charging says it is adding sites in rural locations where charge points are less common with installations in New Forest, Devon and the North Wales coastline. Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said: “We have an aggressive roll-out plan to more than double the size of our network to over 1,000 chargepoints in 2023, so it is imperative that we are able to act quickly to deliver the EV charging infrastructure required to meet public demand.” He said “Finding a partner that can offer the scale that will help us meet delivery timelines we’re committing to is a fundamental part of the puzzle. The team at Siemens has an in-depth understanding of the way meter installations are queued as well as the operational processes at our side too. As a result, we have been able to get power into our units, irrespective of their location, in a matter of days while others have had to wait potentially weeks or months.”
