Fastned has today opened its first ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging station in London. 

Based in the Borough of Greenwich and located just off the Woolwich Road (A206) near the Blackwall Tunnel, the station will cater for local vehicles as well as people travelling through the Blackwall Tunnel. 

The station comprises six 300kW charging bays, each of which is supplied by 100% renewable energy, and is capable of adding up to 186 miles (300km) of range to fully-electric cars in fifteen minutes. 

The launch is Fastned’s 11th in the UK and its first in London, coming just weeks after Fastned opened the biggest ultra-rapid charging station in Scotland. 

The new station features a solar canopy that helps drivers to locate the site and stay dry while charging. 

Tom Hurst, UK Country Manager for Fastned, said: “We’ve developed significant expertise in providing ultra-rapid charging across Europe and in the North East of England, so we’re excited to bring this experience to the capital. London’s target of hitting net-zero by 2030 is ambitious, and we’re delighted to play a part in supporting the capital as it transitions.”
