36 charging points

Fastned gets planning permission for London’s biggest fast-charging station: ‘This is where they are needed most’

Fastned, in its joint venture with Places for London, has received planning permission for its largest ultra-fast charging centre in the UK capital. The plaza with 36 charging points is planned in the Ealing district.

With around 64 per cent of households in suburban London lacking access to off-street parking, many motorists rely on public charging infrastructure, particularly in urban areas. Fastned, which entered into a joint venture with Places for London for its London plans, has designed the Hanger Lane hub to address the resulting needs of local residents, commuters and visitors.

The Hanger Lane station, due to open early next year, will also have retail space and toilet facilities. Benches and a playground outside should create a space where families and local residents can take a break while children can play safely while loading.

The new charging centre will run entirely on renewable energy and have 36 charging points that will allow EV drivers to recharge for a 100-mile range in just 5 minutes. With its location on the North Circular (A406) near Hanger Lane, it lies along a major arterial road in London, where it aims to serve hundreds of drivers every day. Hanger Lane station will also be a charging solution for companies with electric vehicle fleets, especially if they operate in the nearby large Park Royal industrial estate.

“By working with Places for London on this joint venture, we can bring high-quality, ultra-fast charging points to where they are needed most,” said Tom Hurst, Country Director UK at Fastned. “As more and more commercial fleets switch to electric driving, this well-located hub will help keep people and businesses moving. It offers faster, reliable charging options that fit into people’s daily lives and make it easier for drivers to make the switch.”
