Starbucks, Osprey Charging kickoff EV charging network in the UK
Published on: Dec 21, 2023
Both companies have opened their first rapid charging facility at a new drive-thru in Aberdeen with more sites scheduled to open in the future.
Osprey Charging and Starbucks UK have announced the first of new rapid charging locations they are working together to develop for Starbucks customers.
A facility providing three rapid charge points is now open for customers alongside a new drive-through located at Aberdeen, Scotland. This new site improves the EV charging infrastructure in the city and supports local decarbonisation efforts while at the same time offering customers the iconic coffee-brand experience.
The Starbucks-owned site is the first of several in the UK intended for rapid charge points with Osprey, improving the convenience of public EV charging.
“The ability to charge easily and conveniently is critical in making electric vehicles a reality and we are pleased to be able offer customers the opportunity to do so while enjoying the iconic Starbucks experience,” said Jacqui Wetherly, Director of Sustainability at Starbucks UK.
The 75kW charge points are compatible with every EV on the market today and typically add 100 miles of range in around 30 minutes.
The next Starbucks location to benefit from Osprey EV charging is expected to be at the St Johns Retail Park in Bedford, Bedfordshire.
