Osprey Charging, one of the UK’s leading electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, has completed the freehold purchase of a two-acre plot at Twyford Services on the A46, near Evesham. This strategic acquisition will enable the development of a class-leading EV charging hub, with planning permission and grid connection for 16 300kW ultra-rapid chargers already secured.

This new development is one of hundreds of EV charging hubs being built by Osprey Charging across the UK, supported by the company’s further new investment from Cube Infrastructure Management and Investec Bank. The additional investment secures Osprey’s ambitious growth plans.

The purchase is the latest freehold acquisition from Osprey following the award-winning Salmon’s Leap hub in Devon, and the recent acquisition of a site in Paisley, Scotland. Further announcements are expected in 2024 as part of Osprey’s strategy of deploying high-power EV charging hubs on the UK’s strategic road network.

Located at the Twyford Services, on the busy A46 linking Cheltenham, Evesham and Coventry, the site is an ideal location for an ultra-rapid charging hub that will serve both local residents and long-distance travellers, providing a much-needed boost to the region's EV infrastructure.

The site is already home to several well-known tenants, including Costa, KFC, Premier Inn, and Beefeater Restaurant. These amenities will offer a range of options for EV drivers to enjoy while their vehicles are charging, making Twyford Services a convenient and attractive stopover.

As the UK moves closer to the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles, the demand for reliable and accessible EV charging infrastructure continues to grow. Osprey Charging is committed to meeting this demand by providing state-of-the-art charging solutions that cater to all types of EVs and drivers, with over 80 sites expected to be built in 2024.

Osprey delivered more rapid chargepoints than any other operator in 2023 and has already installed more than 200 chargepoints in 2024, consolidating its position as not just one of the largest, but one of the most trusted charging operators in the UK. In 2023, Osprey was crowned Chargepoint Operator of the Year at the Electric Vehicle Innovation & Excellence (EVIE) Awards 2023 and ZapMap Driver Recommended Network for Customer Satisfaction for the fourth year running.
