UK’s Pivot Power starts work on Oxford private wire EV charging network

摘要

EDF-owned Pivot Power has begun building its first private wire electric vehicle recharging network in south Oxford as it prepares to accelerate the roll-out of its HV-connected battery storage assets, Pivot CEO Matt Allen told S&P Global Platts July 23. The network, offering 38 fast charge points at Redbridge Park and Ride, is due to be up and running in Q1 2022. A 10 MW high voltage connection provides scope for expansion as EV adoption grows, the company said. At the same time, Pivot was securing land, grid connection agreements and permits for the next batch of its 36 battery storage sites in England and Wales. Funding for additional sites could be in place early next year, Allen said.
