Charge point for electric trucks opens in UK

Shell has opened its first UK charge point for electric trucks. The facility is located at the company’s Markham Moor Truck Stop in Nottinghamshire. It is situated roughly 40 kilometers south of Doncaster and Southeast of Sheffield adjacent to the A1 and is passed by more than 8,000 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) daily. The facility is equipped with a 400kW fast charging station, with two connectors, allowing more than on vehicle to be charging with up to 200khs at the same time. It is powered by 100% renewable electricity. The charge point is enhanced with a reservation system that allows fleets to guarantee the availability of chargers and to reliably plan and schedule stops, Shell said. (ben) www.shell.co.uk
