Stadium MK is proud to welcome the latest addition to Allego’s vast European public EV- charging network to the home of MK Dons - the ultra-fast charging hub.
The hub was officially opened by MK Dons Women’s players Darcy Guy, Rhianne Rush and Mollie Coupar and is now fully accessible for all drivers of electric vehicles, providing six ultra-fast charge points through three dual-socket 300kW chargers.
Allego’s new Ultra-Fast EV charging hub, located on the West side of the Stadium, adjacent to Fitness First, will allow for visitors to Stadium MK, as well as residents and passing traffic, to charge their electric vehicle whenever they need, and in no more than 10-15 minutes.
The charge points are designed and configured to be fully accessible to all drivers including wheelchair users with lower payment screens and wider parking bays, making them easy to use for everyone.
Chairman Pete Winkelman commented: “We are delighted to welcome Allego’s new Ultra-Fast EV charging hub to our Stadium MK site.
“As part of our Stadium MK Net-Zero strategy, we are constantly striving to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone.
“Stadium MK was built with accessibility in mind, and we are proud that Allego’s new charging hub is uniquely designed and configured to be fully accessible to all users, including wheelchair users.”
Paz Sharma, Managing Director Allego UK, added: “We are proud to have worked with Stadium MK to deliver Allego’s first ultra-fast charging hub in the UK. This is an important step in our future plans and a vital new piece of infrastructure to support Milton Keynes’ and Stadium MK’s green ambitions.
“The new charge points can offer up to an 80% charge in as little as 15 minutes, providing a huge boost to electric-vehicle drivers on the move.
“Along with being ultra-fast, our charge points are flexible and fair to all users – that’s why charging is open to all car types and models with no subscription fees or connection costs, just a simple tap of a credit or debit card, as well as 280 EV charge cards.”
