Osprey Charging is to display new artwork across its EV chargers to celebrate Autism Acceptance Week (Monday 27 March to Sunday 2 April).

‘The Acceptance Journey’ design from Rebecca Ellis is being exhibited on 21 of Osprey’s chargers to celebrate Autism Acceptance Week

The eye-catching, unique artwork has been created by autistic artist Rebecca Ellis, who is also a researcher, science communicator and advocate for the neurodivergent community.

Osprey has awarded her £1,000 for her ‘The Acceptance Journey’ design, which is being printed onto high-quality wraps and exhibited on 21 of its chargers at rapid charging locations from Dover to Ayr.

The company says it strives to create a safe and inclusive environment for all its drivers, partners and staff, and is committed to supporting autistic and disabled electric vehicle drivers.

The campaign follows previous artwork displays by Osprey in 2022 celebrating Pride, Black History Month and Disability History Month.

It’s the only UK charge point network using its charger real estate to display artwork that draws attention to and celebrates important themes.

Ian Johnston, CEO, said: “By converting our EV chargers into galleries for artwork, we are honouring themes that have been suggested by our staff and customers, whilst bringing attention to some important causes and organisations. I want to thank Rebecca for supporting us with this campaign. Her artwork will inspire drivers and others at our charging locations to consider and make choices that respect people with autism as well as all disabilities.”

Rebecca Ellis commented: “Thanks to Osprey for giving me a platform to display my art whilst creating such a positive message. The charger artwork project shows allyship in supporting the autistic, neurodivergent and wider disabled communities with these fantastic campaigns.”
