Q-Park introduces EV Charging to Windsor

Q-Park introduces EV Charging to Windsor

 

Q-Park are delighted to announce the introduction of a new EV Charging Hub which consists of 13 charge points into their Q-Park Windsor Yards parking facility.

Q-Park took over the Windsor Yards car park in August with bold promises to undertake works to bring the facility to Q-Park standard. This is why the 744 space facility is imminently due to undergo a full refurbishment, with the new EV Charging Points considered the first step in the improvement process.

Q-Park are currently investing over £3m in the UK and Ireland on the rollout of initially over 600 electric vehicle charging points across their portfolio of parking facilities. Installations commenced last year and included the modernisation of the existing charging infrastructure with the latest state-of-the-art hardware. On completion of this significant deployment programme, discussions will start on future phases with Q-Park eager to remain at the forefront of electric charging in the parking market. The industry leading results of this project have been shown with Q-Park recently winning the ‘Best EV Chargepoint Provider Award' at the EVolution Awards 2023. 

Now that the works in Windsor have been completed, there are now thirteen 7kW EV Charging Points operated by Blink Charging and are available on a pay as you go basis, they are on Level 1 of the car park. Users wanting to sign up to use the charging points are required to download the Blink smart phone app that is available for free download in the Apple and Google Play store.

John Denton, Head of Commercial at Q-Park UK and IE commented ‘Liveability in urban areas is vitally important, and we are delighted to help support more emission free miles being driven with good quality charging infrastructure. Our comprehensive EV Charging Point roll-out is award winning and progressing throughout the country. We look forward to our new customers in Windsor sampling our state-of-the-art EV Charging infrastructure.'
