Aqua superPower switches on UK’s 1st high power DC electric boat charging network
The first e-boat charging network in the United Kingdom has been switched on – a series of high power DC electric boat charging stations in prominent locations along the perimeter of the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park.
The network of chargers by Aqua superPower includes the world’s first 150kW charging facility at the Mount Batten ferry station, the UK’s first 75kW site at Queen Anne’s Battery, and a 25kW installation at the Barbican landing stage.
Aqua worked with the Marine e-Charging Living Lab (MeLL) initiative, a consortium led by the University of Plymouth in partnership with Plymouth City Council and luxury yacht builder Princess Yachts, whose headquarters and shipyard cover over a million square feet (836k sq m) in Plymouth.
