FOR EV Opens New Electric Vehicle Charging Hub in Aberdeen

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure provider, FOR EV, has announced the opening of a new site at Tesco Express on Great Northern Road, Aberdeen.

The 200kW charging hub is conveniently located less than a 10-minute drive from the city centre and features three dual charging points with six connectors capable of charging a typical EV from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

This new site is the latest addition to a network of four charging hubs operated by Cedarwood Asset Management Ltd. Other recently launched sites include charging hubs at Sainsbury's Inverkip in Inverclyde and Toolstation Montrose.

FOR EV's expansion plans continue with the upcoming delivery of a fourth site in Fraserburgh, bringing the total number of connectors across the Cedarwood sites to 22. This growth further strengthens FOR EV's position as a leading provider of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the region.

Paul Jenkins, Director at Cedarwood Asset Management Ltd, said: "We are delighted to have completed another deal with FOR EV and are sure that the public and staff of the Tenants on this site will benefit significantly from this additional facility."

John Ross, Business Development Manager at FOR EV, said: "We have a strong and growing relationship with Cedarwood Asset Management. Delivering a third site enables us to provide user-friendly EV charging infrastructure to a wider range of drivers across Scotland.

"It's important for retail businesses and landowners to recognise the need for infrastructure as not only an essential provision for EV owners but also an opportunity to attract new customers."

FOR EV is Scotland's leading charge point operator and is supported by funding from The Scottish National Investment Bank.
