Osprey Charging Network

In 2024, we acquired freehold land for two major Osprey charging hubs, on the A46 at Evesham and the M8 west of Glasgow, strengthening our investment in strategically-located infrastructure. These freehold hubs are now well underway: 🪐 Saturn Avenue, Paisley, Glasgow – Set to become Scotland’s largest public ultra-rapid charging hub, this 16 x 300kW charger site is located minutes from the M8 and Glasgow Airport, next to a McDonald's. Ready to go live this Spring. 🌳 A44/A46 Services, Evesham – A key transit location linking Cheltenham, Evesham, and Coventry, this site will feature 16 x 300kW chargers alongside established roadside amenities, offering a seamless charging experience for both local and long-distance drivers. Due to go live later this year. Osprey's hub strategy sees us build large, high-power charging facilities in prime locations on busy routes across the UK, to deliver the high quality public charging network that drivers love and rely on. By securing freehold sites, we gain greater flexibility of design, parallel revenue streams and long-term development, ensuring our sites maximise accessibility, ease of use, and reliability. As the demand for EVs continues to rise, Osprey remains focused on delivering the scale and reliability needed to power the transition to electric mobility.

We’re proud to celebrate two more team members being recognised as Top Women in EV! 🚀 Osprey's Head of Brand and External Affairs, Dora Clarke, joined Osprey in 2018 as Marketing Manager when the company had fewer than 10 people and charge points. Leading the team, she has played a key role in shaping Osprey's brand and communications as we’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading charging networks. 📈 Since joining as Marketing Manager in 2021, Greer Fyfe, now Head of Growth Marketing, has led major initiatives, including the award-winning Visions of the Future campaign. She’s also an integral member of our diversity & inclusivity team, helping to drive positive change within Osprey. Both are driving Osprey and the EV industry forward.

Wholesale electricity prices have come down since their 2022 peak. Why hasn't the cost of public charging? It's due to the way Standing Charges and Capacity Charges are calculated, which changed in 2022, resulting in unintended consequences that have fundamentally shifted the economics of running a charging network. These charges for a typical ultra-rapid EV charging hub in the Midlands, for example, have jumped from £99 a year in 2022 to £8600 a year in 2024. That’s 87x higher, and just one hub. 📈 Over the last two years, Standing Charges paid every day for the live grid connection have increased by as much as 1000% (10x the previous level). 📈 Capacity Charges, reflecting large grid connections secured for future demand, are set to increase by around 100% in April 2025. What surprises people most is that on average 46% of the electricity cost they're paying is for these fixed charges. And at many charging hubs, it is more than the cost of raw electricity itself. Read our full explainer blog here: https://lnkd.in/efYmq6Bv To ensure continued growth in EV infrastructure, and particularly the high-power hubs that customers love and are being built ahead of demand, CPOs are working through ChargeUK to achieve temporary relief or restructuring of how these grid system costs are covered. It's also worth remembering that the cost of charging on the public networks is also higher than at home due to: 👉 No cap on price businesses pay for electricity 👉 VAT is 20% vs 5% at home 👉 CAPEX of building and maintaining infrastructure Vicky Read Jarrod Birch Ian Johnston Dora Clarke Harry Bleasdale Chris Collins Lewis Gardiner

The cost-of-public-charging exam question: wholesale electricity prices have come down from their '22 peak, why haven't prices on the public charging network? Osprey's CEO Ian Johnston explains recent dynamics underlying the cost of public charging in less than five minutes, and shocks podcast host Imogen Bhogal with the changes to standing & capacity charges.
