The retail facility is open 06:00 – 21:00 seven days a week, while the charging facilities operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Each bay is equipped with ABB’s latest 400kW-capable charging units, making Markham Vale one of the most powerful public charging locations in Europe. It means that the latest electric vehicles, such as the BMW iX3, can add more than 200 miles of range in less than 10 minutes.

Yes, the Markham Vale Electric Forecourt features three dedicated ‘drive-through’ charging bays which enable larger electric vehicles to navigate charging bays more easily. It also means EV drivers towing caravans or trailers can remain hitched throughout the charging session.

To make charging as simple as possible, customers have the option of paying via contactless payment cards, the GRIDSERVE app or a range of third-party business roaming partners. Just remember you’ll always find the best price when charging via the GRIDSERVE app.

The Markham Vale Electric Forecourt exclusively uses CCS connectors, which has become the standard connector that all new electric vehicles now use. The GRIDSERVE Electric Highway continues to support both CHAdeMO and AC connectors, but you’d be best to download the GRIDSERVE app and filter these connectors to find a suitable location.

Of course, the retail facility is available for everybody. There is bicycle parking, a motorcycle bay and eight bays for non-EV drivers, including two disabled bays. But once you’ve visited, we think you may want to join the electric revolution!

Yes, like all Electric Super Hubs and Electric Forecourts on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway, the chargers here are powered by 100 per cent net zero energy. Even the retail facility is powered by 138 rooftop-mounted 455W solar panels. Did you know that before EV charging became our thing, GRIDSERVE started out building solar farms? That’s why exclusively using renewable energy will always be core to delivering our infrastructure.
