A facility providing three rapid charge points is now open for customers alongside a new Starbucks drive-through on Intown Road, Aberdeen, improving the EV charging infrastructure in the city and offering customers the iconic Starbucks experience. The Starbucks-owned site is the first of several in the UK intended for rapid charge points with Osprey, improving the convenience of public EV charging.

The 75kW charge points are compatible with every EV on the market today and typically add 100 miles of range in around 30 minutes. Furthermore, the chargers are easy to use and designed with simple payment for all drivers, accepting contactless bank cards, Apple/Google Pay, the Osprey App and RFID card payments, as well as payments through all major third-party payment methods including fleet cards.

The next Starbucks location to benefit from Osprey EV charging is expected to be at the St Johns Retail Park in Bedford, Bedfordshire.
