Osprey Charging, the UK’s leading and fastest-growing EV rapid-charging network, has boosted access to public charging in Flintshire with 12 high-powered EV chargers installed at the Billy Jeans Café in Holywell, supporting local residents, businesses and visitors with reliable EV infrastructure.

The 300kW rapid charge points are compatible with every EV on the market today and can typically add 100 miles of range in 15-20 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery. Situated at the Billy Jeans Café in Holywell, the chargers are an ideal place to charge an EV whilst grabbing a bite to eat.

Easy to use and designed with simple payment for drivers, Osprey Chargers accept contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards. Furthermore, Osprey’s in-house software, Osprey Iris, enables market-leading levels of reliability and innovation in EV roaming. All of this has contributed to Osprey’s ranking by Zap-Map as a ‘Driver Recommended Network’ for the fourth consecutive year, as well as being named ‘Best EV Charging Network’ at the Transport and Energy Awards.

Osprey Charging is dedicated to delivering super-fast, simple and convenient charging to all EV drivers, and the new Flintshire hub is a crucial part of Osprey’s roll-out of public charging infrastructure in key locations across the UK. With over 1,000 operational chargers live and available to use, Osprey’s award-winning network is leading the way with a reliability rate of 99% and speed of growth, as the network expanded by 150% in 2023. 

As EV uptake increases across the country ahead of the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles, more and more of Holywell’s residents and visitors will look for EV charging as standard. As such, this installation will encourage EV uptake in the area, bolstering the UK’s national charging infrastructure as well as improving local air quality, reducing noise pollution and supporting local decarbonisation efforts.

Osprey has funded this installation, operation and oversees maintenance of the chargers which are all supplied with renewable energy. Breact Ltd, the landlord for the hub, benefits from a future-proofed car park and being able to attract more EV drivers as customers.

Osprey’s network provides reliable charging in a broad range of locations, from convenient local sites to hubs on some of the UK’s major roads. This includes its award-winning, 16-charger hub at Salmon’s Leap, Buckfastleigh on the A38 Devon Expressway. Osprey charging locations are consistently scored highly for safety and accessibility by independent inspection body ChargeSafe. In 2023, Osprey was awarded Chargepoint Network of the Year and Private Sector Infrastructure Strategy of the Year at the Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards.

Mae Osprey Charging, y rhwydwaith gwefru ceir trydan mwyaf blaenllaw yn y DU, wedi adeiladu hwb gwefru cyhoeddus 12-orsaf yng Nghaffi Billy Jeans yn Nhreffynnon, i gefnogi gwasanaethau, trigolion a busnesau lleol ac ymwelwyr i’r ardal.

Mae’r gorsafoedd 300kW yn gydnaws â phob car trydan ar y farchnad heddiw ac mae’n bosib i’r gorsafoedd ychwanegu hyd at 100 milltir o fewn 15-20 munud, yn dibynnu ar y cerbyd a’i batri.  Wedi lleoli yng Nghaffi Billy Jeans yn Nhreffynnon, mae’r orsaf wedi’u lleoli’n berffaith i wefru wrth gael bwyd neu ddiod yn y caffi.

Mae modd cychwyn sesiwn gwefru gyda cherdyn banc digyswllt, Apple/Google Pay, ap neu gerdyn RFID Osprey, neu trwy’r holl brif ddulliau talu trydydd parti, gan gynnwys cardiau fflît.  Mae Osprey wedi cael ei chydnabod fel un o rwydweithiau mwyaf dibynadwy'r farchnad, gyda Zap Map yn enwi Osprey Charging fel un o’r Driver Recommeded Networks am y bedwaredd flwyddyn yn olynol.  Cafodd Osprey Charging ei enwi’n ‘Best EV Charging Network’ yn y Gwobrau Trafnidiaeth ac Ynni.

Wrth i’r nifer sy’n defnyddio cerbydau trydan gynyddu ledled y wlad cyn y gwaharddiad ar gerbydau petrol a disel newydd yn 2035, bydd mwy a mwy o drigolion ac ymwelwyr Treffynnon yn edrych am orsafoedd wefru.  Bwriad yr hwb yw annog y defnydd o gerbydau trydan ac i gryfhau seilwaith cerbydau trydan Cymru a’r DU, gwella ansawdd aer lleol, lleihau llygredd sŵn a chefnogi ymdrechion datgarboneiddio lleol.

Mae Osprey wedi ariannu’r gwaith adeiladu yn ogystal â goruchwylio’r gwaith gweithredu a chynnal y safle.  Mae pob gorsaf wedi cynnal gydag egni adnewyddadwy ac mae Breact Ltd, perchnogion y safle, yn elwa o faes parcio sy’n addas ar gyfer y dyfodol ac yn gallu denu mwy o yrwyr â cherbydau trydan.

Mae Osprey yn darparu safleoedd gwefru mewn ystod eang o leoliadau, o safleoedd lleol cyfleus, i safleoedd ar rai o brif ffyrdd y DU.  Mae hyn yn cynnwys hwb Salmon’s Leap, Buckfastleigh ar yr A38 Expressway Dyfnaint.  Mae safleoedd Osprey yn gyson yn cael eu sgori’n uchel gan y corff archwilio annibynnol ChargeSafe.  Yn 2023, enillodd Osprey wobr Rhwydwaith y Flwyddyn a Strategaeth Seilwaith Sector Preifat y Flwyddyn yn y Gwobrau Arloesedd a Rhagoriaeth Cerbydau Trydan.
