Scotland's most powerful electric vehicle charging hub has just opened in Dundee


Scotland’s most powerful electric vehicle charging hub has just opened in Dundee.


The facility, located off the Myrekirk roundabout on the Kingsway, features 24 ultra-rapid charging bays, with eight capable of providing up to 60 miles of driving range in just three minutes.


Scottish ministers, who previously invested millions in creating a public charging network, now emphasize the need for significant private investment to sustain its growth.


According to charger mapping service Zapmap, the number of public chargers increased by 43% in the year leading up to June 2024, bringing the total to 5,663. Of the 1,709 new chargers installed, 77% were privately funded.


Dundee was named the electric vehicle capital of Europe in 2018. This distinction has significantly contributed to the city's emergence as a global tech hub.
