UK EV charging network Be.EV, majority-owned by Octopus Energy Generation, plans to install a charging hub with 16 ultra-rapid charging bays at Gallagher Retail Park in Wednesbury in the West Midlands of the UK. The launch of the hub is slated for November.
The shopping destination, located near a busy M6 motorway junction, is owned by UK commercial property management company Wesleyan Assurance Society. This will be the first of the company’s retail parks to offer EV charging.
“The addition of the EV charging facility will no doubt be a welcome pit stop for electric car drivers visiting the retail park, and more importantly, supports the electric car movement across the UK,” said Mitchell Spencer, Property Asset Manager at Wesleyan.
