South Oxfordshire residents, businesses and visitors’ EV charging access improved this week with the opening of four new EV charge points at Station Garden Pub & Restaurant in Didcot. The new, super-fast chargers are part of Osprey Charging, a leading UK-wide rapid-charging network.  

They typically add 100 miles of range in just 15-20 minutes, depending on the model of the vehicle and its battery level. Accepting simple contactless payment via card or Apple/Google Pay, with no need to download an app, the 150kW rapid charge points are also compatible with every EV on the market today.  

Station Garden was chosen for its excellent location near Didcot Road and the A34 and for its convenient amenities - drivers can charge up whilst enjoying a bite to eat at the pub or a coffee from across the road.  

The charge points are designed to be easy to use and park at, with a 24/7 free helpline assisting customers whenever they need it. For business or fleet drivers, receipts can be obtained via the Osprey App and the chargers accept all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards. Osprey’s in-house software platform, Osprey Iris, enables market-leading levels of reliability and innovation in EV roaming. As a result, Osprey is a multi-award-winning network and a Zap-Map ‘Driver Recommended Network’ for the fifth consecutive year. 

The new South Oxfordshire site is an important investment in Osprey’s roll-out of public rapid charging infrastructure in strategic locations across the UK. With over 1,500 charging bays available to British drivers, Osprey’s award-winning network is enabling more and more drivers to choose electric.
