Gridserve is rolling out four new eHGV charging hubs to join the seven locations already announced for its new Electric Freightway network.

The new sites at Moto Knutsford North, Moto Medway East, Markham Vale Electric Forecourt and Stevenage Electric Forecourt are now confirmed for development.

Positioned at key motorway service areas, as well as Gridserve’s EV charging stations, the new sites will extend dedicated ultra-rapid charging provision for electric freight into the North West, East Midlands and South East of England, giving more logistics firms the confidence to go electric for HGVs and smaller commercial vehicles.

The new charging hubs follow the first eHGV Hub openings at Extra Baldock and Moto Exeter, opened earlier this year.

Construction has also started on five eHGV Hubs at Tamworth, Thurrock, Leeds, Chester and Strensham North.
As manufacturers scale production of electric HGVs and total cost of ownership continues to improve, the availability of reliable, strategically located charging infrastructure is critical in unlocking widespread adoption.

Sam Clarke, head of eHGV programme for Gridserve, said the latest expansion of the Electric Freightway reflects both the strong performance seen at live locations and the “clear regulatory and commercial momentum” behind zero-emission freight.

“Fleet operators need certainty, and they need infrastructure that matches their ambition. By announcing four additional eHGV hubs today – alongside the seven sites we are already building – we are demonstrating our confidence in future eHGV charging demand and our commitment to creating a nationwide network that will enable the electrification of road freight.”
