East of England Co-op taps Osprey Charging for EV charging deployment

Both companies have partnered to support the development of critical public charging infrastructure.

East of England Co-op has signed a partnership with Osprey Charging to bring a major boost to public electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in the UK.

The initial phase of this collaboration has seen the launch of two ultra-rapid charge points at two locations of the largest independent retailer operating in the East of England. These will be followed by a further seven sites over the coming months.

The 150kW charge points are dual charging, compatible with every EV on the market today and typically add 100 miles of range in around 15 minutes.

“The new rapid-charging points are easy to use and offer customers a convenient opportunity to charge their vehicle while doing their shopping, or alternatively pick up a drink and something to eat whilst getting a needed charge,” said Steven Fendley, Building and Environmental Compliance Manager at East of England Co-op.

Access to charging remains one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. By locating reliable charging stations at East of England Co-op stores, which span Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire, Osprey looks to boost consumer confidence in the transition to e-mobility.
