Gateway Centre, Oldham has received a new ultra-rapid charging hub, in a £1M deal with Manchester-based EV charging network Be.EV.
Switched on and ready for use, the site is home to 16 ultra-rapid charging bays, making it one of the largest ultra-rapid EV charging locations in Greater Manchester.
The Gateway Centre shoppers are to benefit from a smooth and convenient charging experience while browsing the shops that are within a one minute walk, including Aldi & B&M Home Stores. Drivers can also monitor their charge level from their mobile whilst doing their shopping through a QR code.
The retail park sees an average of 27,000 cars pass by every day and with only six other ultra-rapid EV chargers within two miles of the site, the charging hub will be a welcome addition for commuters travelling through Greater Manchester.
Currently the local community only has access to 25 EV chargers, meaning the 120,000 Oldham residents will also benefit from the charging site’s convenient location just off Chadderton Way and less than a mile from the city centre.
