Greater Manchester's biggest electric car charging site to go live just two minutes from M60

A new £1m electric vehicle charging facility is to be installed in Sale Water Park. Sixteen bays will go live at the 152-acre park in August, making it the largest hub of its kind in Greater Manchester.

It’s the latest development in a collaboration between Be.EV and Trafford Council, which has already seen more than 41 chargers go live across the borough. The ultra-rapid chargers mean drivers will be able to charge their cars from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in as little as 20 minutes.

The site will be equipped with cutting-edge Kempower chargers that feature unique load balancing abilities. Kempower chargers can intelligently distribute energy supply between vehicles according to capacity and demand - meaning if one car reaches the maximum amount of power on one charger, any residual energy supply can be reassigned to another vehicle connected on-site.
