UK electric vehicle (EV) rapid charging network Osprey Charging has announced plans for a new ultra-fast 16-charger hub in Paisley, Glasgow, which, when completed, will reportedly be one of the largest public ultra-rapid charging hubs in Scotland.
Located by the Phoenix Retail Park in Paisley, the hub will be situated just off the A737, a short drive from the M8, and will seek to provide rapid EV charging in a strategic location.
The 300kW hub is the second freehold site purchase to be completed by Osprey Charging following the Salmon’s Leap hub in Devon, which opened last year.
Osprey Charging CEO Ian Johnston said: “The purchase of freehold sites is an important strategy for Osprey, as it enables us to build larger public charging locations with greater flexibility over their design.

“The Paisley hub will be crucial in supporting the uptake of EVs in Scotland as well as in meeting growing demand for reliable, accessible and high-quality EV charging across the UK.
“In 2024, we have successfully delivered nine high-powered hubs across various UK locations, and the new Paisley hub will be another significant milestone in our rapidly expanding network.
“As the year progresses, our goal is to complete 30 hubs, which will be a monumental stride not only in the advancement of our network but also in fortifying the broader public EV charging infrastructure.”
Osprey Charging has reportedly installed more than 200 rapid and ultra-rapid chargepoints in 2024, and the company said it expects to announce further site acquisitions throughout the summer.
Achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
