UK’s largest EV charging hub opens at the NEC in Birmingham

14 September 2023

The UK’s largest public electric vehicle charging hub has been opened by BP Pulse, The EV Newtork (EVN) and the NEC Group on the NEC Campus in Birmingham.

The Gigahub, which is capable of charging 180 EVs simultaneously with its 30 ultra-fast 300kW and 150 7kW chargers, will serve seven million annual visitors to the NEC Campus, including those attending Fleet & Mobility Live in October.

The ultra-fast chargers are available on-demand at a rate of 85p per kWh and the 7kW units are available through pre-booking only, at a rate of 59p per kWh. BP Pulse subscribers can use a 20 per cent discount on charging rates.

Customers using ultra-fast charging bays are immune to parking charges, but the £12.50 all-day parking charge will apply to those using the 7kW chargers.

Although it is the largest so far, the site in Birmingham is the third Gigahub to open in the UK after sites in Park Lane, central London and Gatwick airport.

The Marshall Leasing team is excited to be exhibiting at Fleet & Mobility Live 2023, taking place on Tuesday October 3rd and Wednesday October 4th at the NEC in Birmingham.

We are very much looking forward to catching up with our colleagues and other industry professionals, and we invite you to visit us at our stand (D26).

If you haven’t yet registered your attendance, you can obtain your free ticket here.

We hope to see you in Birmingham!
