For EV has launched its 30^th EV charging site in Scotland, located in the Seafield Retail and Trade Park in Edinburgh.

The new charging site is For EV’s largest in Edinburgh

The site features ultra-rapid chargers able to deliver up to 200kW and has space to charge eight EVs simultaneously, with optimised load-balancing capabilities.

Situated just a five-minute drive from the Leith neighbourhood, the new hub provides a prime charging destination for EV drivers and shoppers travelling to and from the north of the city.

The project was carried out in collaboration with the site’s landowners and Scottish real estate asset business Rankeilour Properties, and marks For EV’s largest installation in Edinburgh, where it has six others already in operation.

Calum Wallace, senior business development manager at For EV, said: “This is our 30th site in Scotland, adding to our growing portfolio of locations across the country. The new hub will provide major benefits to the local community, with an accessible site adjacent to a busy thoroughfare where EV drivers can access fast and easy charging as they shop, or en route to their destination. With the local LEZ having launched just last month, we expect to see a growth in EV use around the city, and accessible, safe and reliable charging sites such as these are essential to support the transition.”

Jamie Fergusson, co-owner of Rankeilour Properties, remarked: “Our new, reliable on-site charge points will be a great asset to not only our own business, but Seafield Retail and Trade Park as a whole. In addition to ensuring our team and customers benefit from accessible EV chargers, the hub will also support our neighbouring businesses by attracting EV drivers to the area and encouraging more engagement amongst the local community.”
