• Six new fast charging EV locations coming across Scotland, featuring 42 ultra-rapid chargers - each capable of delivering up to 150 miles of range in just 10 minutes

• Charging hubs strategically positioned on key routes from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, supporting Scotland’s transition to cleaner, greener transportation

E.ON has announced plans for new ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs at six sites across Scotland. The 42 high-powered chargers will be installed in key locations near cities such as Dundee, Edinburgh, Stirling, and Dunfermline providing reliable, high-speed charging options for both local commuters and tourists exploring Scotland’s scenic landscapes. These will join E.ON’s first ultra-rapid hub in Scotland, already operational in Aberdeen.

With a combined charging capacity of 12.6MW equivalent to the power needs of 40,000 UK homes(1), the chargers will be capable of charging up to 42 vehicles at a time, providing up to 150 miles of range in just 10 minutes(2). The rollout marks a significant milestone in E.ON’s commitment to making electric driving more convenient, helping to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation and driving the energy transition across the UK.

The Aberdeen hub, already operational at Wellington Circle, south of the city, features 12 ultra-rapid charging bays, including four designed to provide additional accessibility for disabled users. As E.ON’s most northern EV charging station in the UK, it is strategically positioned at the gateway to the Granite City, offering reliable EV charging for drivers travelling in and out of the area.

While Scotland has the second-largest geographic EV charging network in the UK, the distances between chargers can create challenges for drivers. The development is not only E.ON’s first public EV charging hub in Scotland as the company aims to broaden its network across the UK, it will also bridge critical gaps in infrastructure, making charging more accessible and enabling seamless journeys for EV drivers.

Dev Chana, Managing Director of E.ON Drive Infrastructure UK, said: "Our goal is to make electric driving seamless and accessible for everyone, and these new charging hubs are a significant step forward in Scotland’s transition to cleaner transportation. But this is just the start.

"E.ON operates thousands of charging points right across Europe and these new hubs for Scotland are the latest part of a bigger drive to expand our EV charging network across the UK, part of a far wider expansion across the UK and another example of our commitment to creating greener infrastructure across the country.”

Scotland’s charging network expansion is part of E.ON’s broader strategy to revolutionise EV travel across the UK. In 2024 alone, the company introduced 72 ultra-fast charging bays across England and Wales. The latest of these hubs include Wales’s first ultra-fast public EV charging hub featuring 10 ultra-fast chargers, and at Selby, in Yorkshire, just off the A63 with six 300kW charging points.

On the residential front, E.ON has also installed around 8,000 home chargers and 2,000 chargers for small businesses, enabling over 50 million miles of EV charging in 2024 alone.

1. At full capacity, the charging hub can demand 1.5 MW, the equivalent to the average energy demand of 4,839 UK homes, based on Ofgem’s typical medium sized household energy usage.

2. The ultra-fast charging speed of 10 minutes is an average and depends on battery capacity, car model and how much energy is left in the battery. Please refer to your vehicle handbook for further details.
