Osprey expanded its charging network with more than 300 rapid and ultra-rapid charging bays in 2024.

Osprey’s network now has 1,300+ charging bays

The new additions took the total number of charging bays in Osprey’s network to over 1,300. This includes 27 all-new ultra-rapid charging hubs, where the majority of the new charge points are located in line with a growing driver preference for charging hubs.

Osprey also expanded 16 older sites with new and faster charge points to meet growing demand and as part of its strategy of future-proofing existing locations.

Last year also saw Osprey become the largest rapid charging network in Wales. The Capital Shopping Park hub in Cardiff marked the 100th Osprey charging station to be opened in Wales, with sites and hubs across the country supporting Welsh EV drivers and businesses.

Osprey’s site pipeline was boosted with a number of new landlord partnerships, particularly premium retail charging locations. These include new partners such as Railpen and East of England Co-Op.

The firm additionally acquired two new freehold sites in Paisley, Glasgow, and at Twyford Services, both set to host large ultra-rapid hubs of 16+ charge points.

Osprey was also recognised with multiple accolades last year, scooping the EVIE Awards’ Chargepoint Operator of the Year title the second year in a row and a fifth consecutive year’s Driver Recommended Network badge from Zapmap.

Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said: “Our growth throughout the year has been a testament to the hard work of our dedicated teams and partners, and thanks to our customers. To receive both industry and consumer recognition of our work, demonstrated in multiple award wins, is massively rewarding.

“As a team, we are excited to maintain this momentum moving forward into 2025, supporting the continued uptake in EVs with reliable and high-quality public EV charging.”
