The new Energy Superhub in Oxford, UK, is the future of EV charging for electric car drivers for fast and Level 2 charging.
There are also 12 Tesla 250 kW Superchargers and 20 Level 2 EV chargers with up to 22 kW of power provided by Wenea that were installed by ODS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Oxford City Council. If you think Level 2 chargers have no place in a fast charging hub, consider this. It is located next door to the Redbridge Park and Ride center where people can leave their cars for several hours while they take public transportation into London.
Trudy Harrison MP, Transport Decarbonisation Minister, said: “Electric vehicles form a key part of our strategy to decarbonise transport, so I’m pleased to see Europe’s most powerful EV charging hub opening in Oxford. Both the government and industry, working together, are investing billions in projects like this to help provide the infrastructure to support the UK’s electric revolution and soaring EV sales.
Oxford has set a target to be net zero by 2040. Part of that includes providing infrastructure for its Zero Emission Zone, a plan that imposes fees on any non-electric vehicles entering the city’s central zone. Unlike any other UK charging hub, the site is directly connected to National Grid’s high voltage transmission network via a four mile underground cable.
As part of the project, Energy Superhub Oxford has also supported the decarbonization of Oxford City Council’s fleet of maintenance vehicles, managed by ODS. In total, Energy Superhub Oxford has contributed almost £900,000 towards the procurement of 40 EVs, including cars, vans, road sweepers, tipper trucks, and the city’s first all-electric bin lorry.
Energy Superhub Oxford will provide a blueprint for cities around the world to simultaneously scale up green transport, power and heating. The £41 million urban decarbonization project from Pivot Power, partly funded by the UK government, will unlock significant emissions reductions across power, heat, and transport. It will reduce local carbon dioxide emissions by 10,000 tons every year — equivalent to taking over 2,000 cars off the road. That will increase to 25,000 tons by 2032.
