Manchester retailer to host fast EV charging hub with 15 bays


The Stockport, UK, outlet of France-headquartered sporting goods retailer Decathlon is opening a new 15-bay ultra-rapid EV charging hub, installed by UK charging network Be.EV

Located in the town of Stockport, which is part of Greater Manchester, the site receives up to 20,000 visitors per week, and is minutes from the busy M60 motorway.

Decathlon celebrated the opening of the site with promotional offers and test drives of electric bikes, Octopus EVs and a Porsche Taycan.

The new chargers have a capacity of up to 150 kW and are capable of adding up to 165 miles of range in a 20-minute stop, which closely matches Decathlon’s customer dwell time of about 30 minutes. 

“As more and more people choose to drive EVs, they’ll naturally gravitate to destinations where they can conveniently charge their car whilst shopping,” said Asif Ghafoor, CEO and founder of Be.EV.
