The Dudley site is RAW Charging’s latest Ultra-rapid hub, bringing high-power charging to drivers across Tipton and the wider Black Country.
With 150kW and 300kW chargers on offer, drivers can add significant range in minutes rather than hours, providing a meaningful step up in speed for those used to slower chargers and a practical option for local drivers without off-street parking at home.
The opening further expands RAW’s nationwide presence, which now spans more than 500 sites across the UK. Through partnerships with major destinations already in the local area such as Bentley Bridge and Leamington Spa Shopping Park, RAW’s network includes more than 2,500 EV charging bays across the UK.
RAW’s chargers at Dudley are designed to make charging straightforward, offering contactless payment as well as payment directly in the Zapmap app or with just the tap of a Zapmap charging card, high-speed charging and 24/7 customer support.
Jason Simpson, CEO, RAW Charging, said:
“We’re delighted to bring a new ultra-rapid charging hub to Dudley, giving drivers across Tipton and the Black Country access to charging speeds of up to 300kW. Our Rapid Hubs are designed to make charging easier to fit into people’s everyday journeys, with rapid, reliable charging in convenient locations.
Harry Fox, CEO & Co-Founder, Hubber, said:
“This is a landmark EV charging site for the Black Country and we were delighted to partner with a top-tier operator like RAW to bring it to life. Securing a large grid connection and transforming an underused site into a dedicated, purpose-built high-powered hub is exactly what Hubber does best: delivering the vital urban infrastructure our cities and towns need as more drivers without home charging make the switch to electric. Mass-market adoption needs hubs like this, not chargers in ones and twos."
