Stansted Airport gets rapid charging hub

London Stansted Airport's first rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hub has launched and is now live for public use.

The major new hub by Evolt Charging, located on the main road into and out of the airport, includes 10 charging bays that feature Evolt Touch charging units to provide up to 150kW of power.

The touch screen displays tariff and payment information, or instructional content (with multilingual options) to guide the driver through each charging event. The screen can also be used as an advertising platform.

Gareth Powell, managing director at London Stansted, said: “We are fully committed to the sustainable and responsible growth of London Stansted, which is why we're delighted to open our first EV charging hub at the airport.
 
"This new facility is ideally located so that passengers, commuters, staff, local residents, and businesses passing through can grab a bite to eat and a cup of coffee while recharging their vehicles.

"Our focus is to continue driving forward on our commitment to reach net zero carbon operations by 2038.”
 
Lara Navetta, sales director at Evolt Charging, said: “We pride ourselves on building the best portfolio of charging technology and we know that rapid and ultra-rapid charging is key to the future of EV driving and uptake.

"We’re proud to support London Stansted with the launch of its first rapid EV charging hub, which marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to sustainable travel.”
