Osprey, which is helping to facilitate Wells & Co.’s plans, has reported a successful start to 2023. The company has installed 142 charging stations in just 10 weeks, equalling the number of chargers installed in the whole of 2022. The next plans are to install a further 50 charging stations by the end of April.
“I’m delighted that the deployment of Osprey’s national infrastructure of EV charging stations is at full speed, with the whole team working tirelessly to bring new chargers live at this unprecedented rate. Looking ahead, we are set to continue this pace of roll-out and deliver on our business plan of achieving four times as many chargers in 2023 than we did in 2022,” explained Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging Network.
