Wenea expects to have 200 chargers deployed by the end of 2023, with the aim of accelerating the transition to electric mobility. Prioritising communities that need better EV charging infrastucture, Wenea has EV chargers in Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Scotland and Devon. Over thirty chargers are located across Exeter, East Devon and Plymouth in areas poorly served by EV charging infrastructure. Much of the charging hubs are at on-street locations as part of partnerships with local authorities, bringing EV charging capability to residents who do not have off-street parking. Wenea also focuses on providing its fully-integrated charging experience to both B2B and B2C customers through its platform, available on iOS and Android. Jose Contreras, Wenea, says, “We are working with many local councils to identify UK locations that would benefit from EV charging solutions. We recognise the challenges that many communities face in not easily being able to access EV charging and are working hard to rectify this.” He continues, “Many of our chargers are also located in areas of high tourism – providing much needed EV infrastructure to support the tourist industry and open up parts of the UK to EV drivers.” The Wenea roll out features a mix of fast and rapid charging solutions. The chargers are supported by the Wenea App which has over 100,000 users across Europe.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row" css=".vc_custom_1670934072620{background: #f1f3f7 url(https://wenea.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/fondo-uk-blog.jpg?id=57680) !important;}"][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="50px"][ezy_heading heading_text="Contact us" heading_text_html_tag="h2" heading_text_thickness="font-weight-bold" heading_text_color="text-color-dark" css_animation="fadeInUpShorter" css_animation_delay="0" heading_text_style="true" heading_text_size="28" heading_text_margin_bottom="5"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][ezy_icon_box icon_box_layout="icon-box-style-6" icon_linear="lnr lnr-envelope" icon_size="text-8" title_text="marketing@wenea.com" title_text_color="custom" sub_title_text="Contact:" title_text_style="true" title_text_color_custom="#f4992d"][/ezy_icon_box][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This groundbreaking project, developed as part of Pivot Power's nationwide network of Energy Superhubs, integrates transmission-connected batteries and power infrastructure for EV charging, enabling increased use of renewables and accelerating the decarbonisation of transportation. The EV charging hub, located at Oxford's Redbridge Park and Ride, will initially provide rapid and ultra-rapid charging for up to 42 vehicles simultaneously. Powered entirely by renewable energy, the hub has an installed capacity of 10 MW on-site and is capable of scaling up to support the charging needs of 400 vehicles. This state-of-the-art infrastructure will contribute to the anticipated 36 million EVs expected to be on UK roads by 2040. Wenea, one of Europe's largest EV charging service providers, stands out at the charging hub with the deployment of twenty 7-22 kW charging bays. These charging bays complement the ten charging bays from Fastned, offering 300 kW of power, which enable hundreds of EVs to gain 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes. Additionally, Tesla owners can benefit from twelve 250 kW Tesla Superchargers. The installation of Wenea's EV charging stations was expertly carried out by ODS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oxford City Council. The Energy Superhub Oxford project, led by Pivot Power, aims to decarbonize public and private transport, including taxis and commercial fleets, throughout Oxford. By supporting the city's net zero plan for 2040, this initiative serves as a blueprint for urban decarbonisation , demonstrating the feasibility of achieving simultaneous advancements in green transport, power, and heating. Oxford's ambition extends further with the pilot Zero Emission Zone, a pioneering scheme that imposes fees on non-electric vehicles entering the central zone. To support this vision, a substation has been installed at Oxford Bus Company's Watlington Road depot, preparing for the introduction of over 100 electric buses within the next two years.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="57934" img_size="700x467" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]By providing significant reductions in emissions across power, heat, and transport, Energy Superhub Oxford is set to save 10,000 tons of CO2 annually, which is equivalent to removing over 2,000 cars from the road. This figure is expected to increase to 25,000 tons by 2032, supporting Oxford's goal of reaching net zero by 2040 and reducing emissions by 40% by 2030. Trudy Harrison MP, Transport Decarbonisation Minister, expressed her satisfaction with the launch of Europe's most powerful EV charging hub in Oxford, emphasizing the vital role of electric vehicles in the UK's decarbonisation strategy. She highlighted the collaborative efforts of the government and industry, investing billions in projects like this to develop the necessary infrastructure for the electric revolution, leading to increased EV sales, decarbonized transportation, job creation, and improved air quality across the UK. Matt Allen, CEO and Co-Founder of Pivot Power, emphasized the crucial role of urban decarbonisation in addressing the climate crisis. Energy Superhub Oxford serves as a model for future endeavors by reducing emissions across transport, power, and heat, contributing to the UK's journey towards net zero. Jose Contreras, Head of Wenea UK said “Wenea’s objective is to enable electric mobility for everyone in order to reduce overall emissions. Transport decarbonisation will only be achieved through the collaboration of public and private transport. This project in Redbridge Park and Ride is the perfect example. Wenea’s offer will cater for electric vehicle users with dwell times of several hours, typically commuters or tourists who prefer to leave their EVs in Redbridge and enter the city via public transport.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row" css=".vc_custom_1670934072620{background: #f1f3f7 url(https://wenea.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/fondo-uk-blog.jpg?id=57680) !important;}"][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="50px"][ezy_heading heading_text="Contact us" heading_text_html_tag="h2" heading_text_thickness="font-weight-bold" heading_text_color="text-color-dark" css_animation="fadeInUpShorter" css_animation_delay="0" heading_text_style="true" heading_text_size="28" heading_text_margin_bottom="5"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][ezy_icon_box icon_box_layout="icon-box-style-6" icon_linear="lnr lnr-envelope" icon_size="text-8" title_text="marketing@wenea.com" title_text_color="custom" sub_title_text="Contact:" title_text_style="true" title_text_color_custom="#f4992d"][/ezy_icon_box][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
