The new site features a 200kW charger serving two bays, enabling drivers to add hundreds of miles of range in just minutes.

With 24-hour CCTV, contactless payment and an easy-to-use interface, the new site delivers a safe, secure and convenient rapid charging experience for drivers and passengers alike.

Neil Mahapatra, CEO of Zapgo, said: “We’re delighted to bring Lochmaben its first rapid charging site, giving local residents, visitors and electric fleet operators the confidence that they can charge quickly and reliably in this rural location.”

Jo Moffatt, head of network at Zapgo, added: “At Zapgo, we’re focused on bringing high-speed EV charging to the places others often overlook. By building the right infrastructure where it’s needed most, we help people feel confident about making the switch to EVs, knowing they’ll have reliable charging when visiting the places they live, work and visit.”
