EV charge point operator Zapgo has opened its largest site to date—a new DC fast charging hub at Sowerby Wood Business Park in Barrow-in-Furness, a coastal city in Northern England.
The new charging hub features 10 charging bays, including 2 fully accessible bays, served by five 200 kW Alpitronic chargers.
Amenities at the charging hub include rest rooms, a coffee machine and a vending machine. Zapgo has partnered with local businesses to provide ongoing maintenance.
Barrow-in-Furness itself is an industrial port town, which is (perhaps unsurprisingly) underserved by public charging. However, the nearby Lake District National Park sees some 18-19 million visitors annually.
“We’re delighted to launch Zapgo’s largest site to-date: a much-needed ultra-rapid charging hub in Barrow-in-Furness which provides significant support to the growing number of local residents and visitors who are making the switch to EVs,” said Neil Mahapatra, CEO of Zapgo. “Our site’s proximity to the world-famous Lake District National Park makes it a key amenity for the millions of families who visit the area each year.”
