Customers are able to pay for charging using Adyen payment terminals which can accept Chip & PIN, contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and fleet cards.Photographs of the site show two charging bays per charging tower, suggesting capacity for up to 32 EVs at a time, although this has not been confirmed. It’s positioned at Twyford Services by the A46 and A44 highways linking the Midlands, South West and Wales in what has been described as a fast charging ‘cold spot’ by National Highways. Osprey Charging has also highlighted the fact that the charging hub is built on land that it owns, rather than leases – which it says has enabled it to deliver a ‘larger, purpose-built’ facility.“Reliable, high-power charging hubs on major UK roads are essential for the transition to electric vehicles,” said Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging. “Twyford Services is a flagship site for Osprey – a large, purpose-built hub in a location that needed better charging coverage. Because we own the land, we have been able to build a bigger, future-proofed site using our latest technology, giving drivers the confidence they need to travel long distances in an EV. This is exactly the kind of reliable, super-fast infrastructure the UK needs as electric vehicle adoption continues to grow.”ospreycharging.co.uk
