UK EV charging network Be.EV, majority-owned by Octopus Energy Generation, has installed a new nine-bay DC fast charging hub in Parkway Central Retail Park, which is located on a main road between Sheffield city center and the M1 motorway, and is used by an average of 66,000 vehicles per day.
The hub features Kempower chargers with charging speeds of up to 150 kW, and infrastructure that can accommodate future expansion to up to 20 charging bays.
Conveniently located for fleet drivers, the hub has no height restrictions and offers access to a variety of food outlets.
“The air pollution deaths statistics in Sheffield are shocking and need to be drastically reduced,” said Be.EV CEO Asif Ghafoor. “The Clean Air Zone introduced last year is a great start, but encouraging people to switch to EVs by giving them access to convenient public charging is the key way to finish the job.”
