The new electric vehicle charging hub has been developed by Source as ultra-rapid charging is available for the Pakefield and Carlton Colville areas of the town.

The hub features up to 160kW ultra-rapid chargers which allow most electric vehicles to charge and go in around 15 minutes.

Located directly off the A12, the charging hub offers contactless payment options and 24/7 customer support.

"The Pakefield and Carlton Colville areas have been under served for fast public EV charging, and our new hub at the Gateway Retail Park changes that.

"With 10 ultra-rapid chargers right off the A12, local residents, shoppers and visitors to the nearby holiday parks now have fast, reliable charging on their doorstep.

"It's exactly the kind of convenient, stress-free experience we're committed to delivering.”
