Plans have been submitted for a new public roadside EV hub in Yorkshire that aims to create over 30 permanent jobs whilst introducing ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The scheme, which is now pending approval, would see the delivery of a modern roadside services facility including a fuel filling station with a shop, dedicated vehicle charging hub, drive-thru coffee shop, car wash and jet wash facilities.
On the charging side; the EV hub would feature 10 ultra-rapid 300kW charging bays, each capable of charging electric vehicles in anywhere between 8 to 20 minutes – depending on the battery size.
Planning and development consultancy Lichfields will advise on the planning application.
Casey Smith, Senior Planner at Lichfields, said:The proposals would deliver a modern roadside services facility in a highly accessible location.
Alongside traditional refuelling and driver facilities, the scheme would introduce ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure that is currently very limited locally.
The development would also support the local economy through new employment opportunities and additional services for residents and motorists travelling through the area.
The planning application is now under consideration by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. If successful, the site would be built on a space of around one hectare of land north of Stanley Jackson Way, immediately adjacent to existing development in Brough.
