Gretna Green leads Scotland charge

IONITY is continuing the expansion of its UK charge network with the launch of a new station in Gretna Green. Gretna Green is the first of six stations to be launched in Scotland, becoming Scotland’s fastest charging stations.

Drivers can now charge their electric cars in less than 20 minutes using renewable energy from IONITY’s High Power Chargers at Gretna Green services.

IONITY is a joint venture between Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company, BMW Group and the Volkswagen Group with Porsche AG, that aims to increase the feasibility and adoption of EVs by establishing convenient High Power Charging (HPC) sites across the continent.

Minister of State for the Future of Transport, George Freeman MP, said, ‘The UK is in the vanguard of electrification of transport to reduce pollution. Through our Road to Zero Strategy we are funding major investment in vehicle charging infrastructure. Close collaboration with the private sector is crucial to achieving a zero-emission future and IONITY’s leadership is helping supercharge the UK’s charging infrastructure.’

Dr. Marcus Groll, COO of IONITY said, ‘Close collaboration with site partners like MFG is crucial to achieving a zero-emission future and IONITY’s network is finally giving EVs in the UK the kind of charging speeds their owners want.’
