(..)This is the future, now! Robert gets a world exclusive first look at GRIDSERVE's awesome electric forecourt, before it opens next week. It's the first of its kind in the UK, the first of one hundred. The forecourt can charge 36 cars simultaneously with a variety of rapid chargers, while drivers and passengers utilise the retail and food facilities at their leisure. What makes this off-the-scale amazing though is that all of the power to charge these EVs comes from sustainable energy, including a 60 acre solar farm, and all surplus energy for the Electric Forecourt goes back into the grid. Their big plans don't end there though, as part of the ambition to make the transition to EVs as easy as possible, GRIDSERVE are launching their own EV leasing service. We love everything about this and cannot wait to see what GRIDSERVE do next!

Toddington Harper, CEO of GRIDSERVE, said: “It is fantastic to have the UK’s first 360kW capable charger open to the public at Braintree Electric Forecourt. By installing this latest innovation now, we are offering state-of-the-art charging technology to our customers. It can be used with a variety of electric vehicles including HGVs and cars towing caravans. We’ve listened to driver feedback that our towing customers needed additional space to charge without decoupling and this new charger installation has given us the opportunity to provide that charging area at Braintree Electric Forecourt. GRIDSERVE is committed to providing the best charging experience for all EV drivers and we hope to support more drivers in making the switch to electric vehicles.”(..)

This is a live stream so may not be our best quality video. Today we're at the opening of the new and second Gridserve Electric Forecourt. This is based on the outskirts of Norwich and houses enough chargers for 36 EV's to charge simultaneously. It's 45p p/kWh which will average out to approximately 11.5p p/mile. It's a quick look but should give you an idea of what you can look forward too.
