Extra MSA surges ahead with IONITY EV charging expansion
At Extra MSA we’re making a further commitment to the EV transition through extending our partnership with IONITY, the leading high-power charging network for EV brands.
24 350kW ultra-rapid IONITY charge points are now live at our Cambridge (A14(M11), J24), Cobham (M25 J9/10) and Peterborough Services (A1(M) J17 & A605). We will also be expanding our EV capability across Leeds Skelton Lake (M1 J45), Blackburn (M65 J4) and Baldock Services (A1(M) J10) from now until the end of the year.
We were already the first motorway services provider to surpass the government’s targets of installing at least six chargers at each service area, but want to continue to go the extra mile for our customers by installing additional chargers to speed up wait times and ensure a more seamless journey.
IONITY’s partnership with green energy provider Octopus means all of the energy powering its ultra-rapid chargers is 100% renewable, making EV travel truly emission-free and climate-neutral.
Tom Dobson, CEO at Extra MSA Group, said:
“IONITY’s 350kW ultra-fast charge points are some of the highest-powered and most economical facilities available, reflecting our commitment to investing in the best possible customer experience.
“We look forward to continuing to work with IONITY and other partners to ensure that we are leading the way in creating an EV-friendly motorway network, which meets the needs of drivers both today and in future.”
Andreas Atkins, Country Manager UK & Ireland at IONITY, said:
“We’ve been partnered with Extra MSA for many years, leading the way in delivering the highest standard of infrastructure on some of the UK’s busiest roads. Increasing to 24 350kW chargers at Cambridge, Cobham and Peterborough shows the demand for more sustainable travel, and aligns with our commitment to more than double the number of publicly available stations and charging points in the UK for the third consecutive year.
“By continuing to expand our ultra-rapid charging infrastructure at key locations across the UK, EV drivers can feel assured they’ll have access to convenient, reliable, affordable power to fuel their electric travel across Europe, all powered by 100% renewable energy.”
