A new rapid electric vehicle charging site has popped up at a popular Southampton pub.

Osprey Charging has launched the new public charging site at Brewhouse & Kitchen in Highfield Lane.

The three high-powered EV chargers are compatible with every electric vehicle (EV) on the market and can add up to 100 miles of range in just 35 minutes of charge, depending on the vehicle and its battery.

The site will bolster the UK’s growing EV charging infrastructure; improving local air quality, reducing noise pollution and supporting local decarbonisation efforts

Osprey has been ranked as a Zap-Map ‘driver recommended network’ for the fourth consecutive year, with over 1,000 EV chargers available to the public.

The 60kW charge points are an ideal place to charge an EV whilst enjoying a drink or grabbing a bite to eat.
