Osprey Charging has opened three new rapid chargers at the northernmost point of the UK mainland.

Located at the northernmost point of the UK mainland, the 75kW chargers increase access to public charging in the Highlands and on the popular North Coast 500 touring route

Located at the John o’ Groats car park, the 75kW chargers increase access to public charging in the Highlands and on the popular North Coast 500 touring route.

The chargers can add up to 100 miles of range in as little as 35 minutes of charge, depending on the vehicle and its battery. They’re designed with simple payment for drivers, accepting contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards.

The John o’ Groats destination is the first Osprey site built in collaboration with partner Heritage Great Britain.

Allan Leech, CEO at Heritage Great Britain, said: “Providing a memorable experience is paramount for us, and as the demand for EV charging points rises, our partnership with Osprey enables us to meet the evolving needs of our visitors and the broader community. This new initiative not only enhances the visitor experience but also contributes to our commitment to sustainability. We look forward to working with Osprey to bring rapid charging to more of our locations in the future.”

Osprey has funded this installation, operation and oversees maintenance of the chargers which are all supplied with renewable energy.

Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, said: “The electric transition is well underway and we’re here to provide a reliable and rapid public charging service for all drivers, from Cornwall to the top of Scotland. Osprey now has over 800 charge points installed across the UK, with each location carefully designed to maximise space, accessibility and availability and made to the latest and highest standards. This new charging site at John o’ Groats is a fantastic addition to the recharging network that will enable the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.”
