Legal & General to roll-out 72 chargepoints with Osprey

Legal & General have elected Osprey Charging Network to provide rapid EV charging infrastructure for its ReAssure Property Funds, and was advised by Knight Frank’s National EV Solutions team.

Set to supply Stoke-on-Trent first with four high-power chargers, more ultra-rapid charging is underway in Waltham Abbey, Essex, and Watford. This makes a total of 72 modern hubs planned nationwide to Osprey’s arsenal of over 1,300 charging bays, from the South East of England to the North West.

David Goatman, partner, department head, global head of energy and sustainability at Knight Frank, commented: “We are delighted to have advised Legal and General on this successful rapid EV charging partner selection. This kind of innovative procurement process will help to deliver crucial low carbon infrastructure across the portfolio and add to the on-site amenity offer for occupiers.”

Andrew Nosworth, Commercial Director at Osprey Charging, said: “We’re proud to work with L&G’s ReAssure portfolio, providing the ultra-rapid charging infrastructure that is crucial for the UK’s expanding EV market. By installing reliable, high-powered charging hubs, we’re making EV ownership more convenient and accessible for drivers across the country, whilst making these excellent retail parks even more attractive to tenants and customers. With over 1,300 charging bays, we are the UK’s third largest open rapid charging network and committed to further expansion with high quality landowners like L&G.”
