Fastned has opened a new electric vehicle charging hub with six chargers at the Hillend Industrial Park in Dalgety Bay, Fife.
Drivers charging at the hub will have access to a wide range of amenities, including Aldi, Greggs and Subway.
This is the first ultra-rapid (300kW) charging hub north of the Forth Road Bridge, offering up to 300 miles of range in 20 minutes to drivers travelling to and from Edinburgh.
The launch means Fastned now has 25 hubs in the UK and three hubs in Scotland. An initial six charging bays at the site will be supplied with 100% renewable energy.
The new charging hub features Fastned’s illuminated yellow wings, which help EV drivers locate the site easily and show drivers who have not yet made the switch to electric that fast charging is available to them.
Commenting on the new station, Tom Hurst, UK country manager, Fastned said: “Ultra-rapid charging is still very much needed in Scotland, so I’m delighted to announce that our Dalgety Bay charging hub is now open. It’s the first ultra-rapid charging hub North of the Forth Road Bridge which will make the journey to and from the North of Scotland much easier for EV drivers.”
