The first phase of the hub will feature four high-capacity Combined Charging Systems (CCS) chargers serving eight bays. It will also offer a range of amenities, including sanitary facilities and vending machines for drinks and snacks.
In the second phase of the construction, additional CCS and Megawatt Charging System (MCS) chargers will be installed, alongside more sanitary facilities, vending machines, and a lounge area, states Milence.
Immingham, located on the east coast of England, offers good internal connections facilitated by road and rail links, including direct access to major motorways such as the M180, M18, and M1.
Explaining why Immingham was chosen, Milence said that the port’s proximity provides a less than 24-hour connection to a European market of 170 million people, with more than 30 roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) and lift-on/lift-off (Lo-Lo) sailings each week serving Northern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic.
The hub will be situated at Able Humber Port (AHP), a 311-hectare deep-water offshore wind and renewable energy port, featuring over 1,000 metres of planned heavy-duty quays developed on 43.1 hectares of riverbed.
