Instavolt says a major milestone has been reached at its new ultra-rapid EV charging hub at Chicklade, Wiltshire.
The steel frame can now be seen on the former Chicklade Servies on the A303. Instavolt says the transformation from a former petrol station into a state-of-the-art superhub marks one of the most significant EV infrastructure projects under way in the South West.
Alongside the steel frame works, installation of the EV charger ducting and channels has also taken place, laying the essential groundwork to power the site.
Once complete, the superhub will feature 30 x 240kW EV charging spaces, with provision for an additional 12, alongside 60 ICE parking bays and two 2MW battery energy storage systems (BESS) to supplement grid supply.
Drivers will be able to take advantage of a 10,000sq ft food and beverage offering showcasing fresh local produce, an in-house bakery, butchery and deli.
A new footpath will connect the site to the village of Chicklade so locals can use the shop too. There will also be improvements to access on the A303.
Chicklade is expected to be completed later this year.
