CHESTERFIELD'S EV TRANSITION

Creating a high-capacity, ultra-convenient Charging Hub at 85 Saltergate.

The challenge? 

Chesterfield, a historic town in the heart of the Midlands, is seeing rapid growth in electric vehicle adoption, with nearly 3,500 EVs already on the road. However, infrastructure to support this transition lagged, leaving residents and visitors with limited fast-charging options in the town centre.

Be.EV set out to bridge this gap by creating a high-capacity, ultra-convenient charging hub in Chesterfield. Located at 85 Saltergate, just minutes from the historic marketplace, this site was designed to:

  • Deliver ultra-rapid charging speeds to meet the needs of a growing EV driver base.
  • Enhance accessibility and convenience with driver-friendly facilities.
  • Provide a boost to local businesses by encouraging high footfall.
  • Contribute to Chesterfield’s environmental goals with a sustainable EV charging solution.

The Be.EV solution

Be.EV worked closely with site owners Peppermint Grove and associated local authorities to deliver Chesterfield’s first ultra- rapid EV charging hub, strategically located to maximise community impact and driver convenience.

The hub features eight ultra-rapid chargers capable of adding up to 165 miles of range in just 20 minutes, making it one of the fastest and most reliable EV charging options in the region. Our solution provides:

  • Seamless Driver Experience: Spacious, accessible bays that allow all drivers, including those with disabilities, to easily enter and exit their vehicles – even in a busy car park.
  • Boosted Local Economy: Placement near Chesterfield’s marketplace supports nearby shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, enhancing the town’s appeal to eco-conscious visitors.
  • Reliability at Scale: A future-proofed design ensures the site can meet the growing demand for EV charging in the Midlands.

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Adding real value to the existing land and town centre, this ultra-rapid Charging Hub has accelerated the sustainability of this region with thousands of new drivers utilising the Hub since the launch in July 2024.
