Forecourt operator MFG is set to invest £50m on its EV infrastructure in 2023.
The investment plan will see MFG install more than 360, ultra-rapid 150kW EV chargers at hubs throughout the UK.
MFG hubs will consist of between four and eight ultra-rapid 150kW EV chargers per site, which can add 100 miles range in approximately 10 minutes, subject to the charging capability of individual car batteries. The company says these will be replaced by 300kW+ chargers as vehicle battery technology improves.
William Bannister, Chief Executive of MFG, said: “Our ambition was to invest ahead of the curve, and give drivers who were contemplating purchasing an electric vehicle the confidence that they could travel as easily as with a petrol or hybrid vehicle.
“Although we have a way to go to achieve this, our investment in 2022 has set us on a positive trajectory. We have set ourselves another ambitious target for openings in 2023, with the plan to energise 360 chargers whilst delivering the best experience possible for our customers.”
Last week MFG installed seven new 150kW EV power chargers at its site in Slateford, Edinburgh.
