Moto Hospitality has launched its own in-house public EV charging network, called Moto Charge, with charging speeds of up to 400kW on offer.
The first Moto Charge location opened at Toddington North services, on the M1, with additional locations lined up for the future.The move marks a new strategy for Moto – until now, public charging at its motorway service areas has been provided by third party chargepoint operators (CPOs) such as Gridserve and Tesla, helping to bring over 1,000 charging bays to its motorway service areas so far.
However, even with this new charging network launch, Moto has confirmed that third-party CPOs will remain at its various service areas, giving EV drivers a wider choice on where they choose to charge up
The use of ABB A400 chargers, which offer charging speeds of up to 400kW, will mean its sites offer some of the fastest public charging available in the UK. There are two CCS connectors on each unit, allowing for quick charging speeds to two vehicles.The charging units accept contactless payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay and RFID/charge cards.Moto says the new chargers support its ‘continued commitment to making Moto the most dependable place to charge on the motorway’.
