Osprey to grow network by 50% with Tritium fast chargers
Tritium, the Australian developer and manufacturer of direct current fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), is to supply more than 250 rapid chargers to the Osprey Charging Network, one of the fastest growing UK-wide networks of rapid EV charging points.
Aimed at increasing access to rapid and reliable charging infrastructure in car parks, retail locations and along major transit routes, the chargers are slated for 100 new charging destinations, growing Osprey’s network by over 50%.
Ian Johnston, Osprey CEO, said, “As an independent charge point operator, we have the freedom to work with the very best hardware companies so that we can provide the very best experience for our customers.
“We are excited to add the dynamic load-balancing PKM chargers to our rapidly expanding UK network, optimising charger output across a number of cars plugged in simultaneously and ultimately improving driver experience. Tritium is an instrumental partner in helping Osprey deliver on our goal of creating a high quality, inclusive, reliable charging network that’s worry free and accessible for all.”
Jane Hunter, Tritium CEO said, “We’re delighted to strengthen our relationship and key partnership with Osprey to support its infrastructure coverage goals and increase access to rapid charging, enabling drivers to transition to EVs with a fast, reliable and convenient charging experience. In 2021, approximately 190,727 new electric vehicles were sold in the UK, a staggering increase of 76% compared to 2020, setting a new record for the country and a strong indicator of the UK’s technology switch.”
