Wells on a charge

Wells & Co has installed electric vehicle (EV) charging points at seven of its pubs as part of a deal with Osprey Charging Network which will build and run the facilities.

The partnership will see an initial 12 rapid charging locations created totalling almost 50 outlets across the 179-string Wells estate, including three high-power hubs.

A typical EV can fully charge in 25-45min, payment is via a contactless bank card and every charge point is also powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity.

Head of estates Nick Wells (pictured right) said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Osprey. We will be working with both our managed houses and our pub partners to help support a widespread network across the country for electric vehicle drivers.”

Osprey CEO Ian Johnson (pictured left) said “We know from experience that electric vehicle drivers choose to stop at locations where they can enjoy their charge time in a safe and comfortable environment with food and amenities.

“Wells & Co’s pubs provide this warm welcome and high-quality experience, while retaining the individuality of each pub. We’re delighted that our rapid charge points can add a valuable service to these unique locations.”
