Trafford’s Sale Water Park has opened the largest ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging hub in Greater Manchester.

The £1m state-of-the-art site is installed and maintained by EV charging network Be.EV. Equipped with 16 ultra-rapid charging bays with ultra-rapid Kempower chargers that can charge an EV to 80 per cent in as little as 20 minutes, technology intelligently distributes energy supply between vehicles according to capacity and demand, meaning that if one car reaches the maximum amount of power on one charger, any residual energy supply can be reassigned to another vehicle connected on-site.

The site at Sale Water Park marks a major step forward for Trafford Council, that is working towards a target of getting all of Trafford’s 236,000 residents within 10 minutes of a charger.
