Instead of a car being defined by its engine capacity, expressed in litres, it’s now defined by its battery size – the unit of this is kilowatt hours (kWh). EVs have a battery that can have a capacity anywhere between 30kWh and around 100kWh, with the numbers indicating the total of the battery’s energy storage over a specific time.

Chargers are rated in kW – that’s the power that they can deliver and therefore the speed that your electric car can charge. Higher-powered chargers will have a higher kW rating and will add charge to your vehicle faster.

The remainder of our charging network consists of either Medium Power chargers providing 30kW to 60kW or Low Power AC chargers supplying up to 22kW. Whether you need a fast top-up on a long journey or are browsing retail options for a few hours, our GRIDSERVE Electric Highway keeps you connected and on the move.
