EV charging site boost to town development
AN ultra-rapid EV charging site has been installed at a Rotherham development.
Electric vehicle charge point operator Believ has completed the installation at a new commercial development on Riverside Way in Rotherham, in partnership with Primesite Group Limited.
The site, which was made operational on April 30, delivers eight ultra-rapid chargers providing drivers with reliable, high-speed charging at one of the town’s most prominent new commercial destinations.
All charge points are fully accessible, ensuring inclusive use for all drivers.
The installation complies with the British Standards PAS 1899 guidelines that detail the space, layout, and ease of use required to ensure that people with diverse accessibility needs can access public charging without barriers or restrictions.
Located adjacent to the newly developed Starbucks and just off the Ickles Roundabout, the site is convenient for both local drivers and those travelling through the region.
Plans for the site include offices and retail outlets.
Craig Butler, property director at Believ, said: “Riverside Way is a prime example of how new developments are integrating EV infrastructure from the very start.
“With its prominent location, footfall and proximity to major routes, it is an ideal location for ultra-rapid charging and will play an important role in supporting current and future EV drivers across Rotherham and the wider South Yorkshire region.
“Our fully funded model means partners like Primesite Group Limited can support stakeholders transitioning to EVs without the financial or operational barriers that can come with significant EV infrastructure projects.
“We’re proud to support this exciting new development with a robust, reliable and future-ready charging solution.”
