To cut carbon emissions and improve air quality the UK Government will end the sale of internal combustion engine cars by 2030 – and aims to extend the ban to all vehicle types by 2040. To keep the new electric vehicles charged and moving, we’re going to need large amounts of power in the right places.
That’s why we’re developing a nationwide network of Energy Superhubs connected directly to the high-voltage transmission network.
Our high-volume power connections provide multi-megawatt power for charging electric vehicles.
For charging cars and vans at ultra-rapid charging hubs, buses overnight at depots or commercial vehicles both on the move and back at base, we’re doing out bit to accelerate the rEVolution and create a cleaner, electric future for UK transport.
The ability to charge quickly and easily on the move helps to tackle ‘range anxiety’ and gives more drivers the confidence to go electric. We are working with local authorities, charge point operators, motorway service areas and others to develop large, ultra-rapid public charging hubs, where drivers can charge and be on the road again in minutes.
Buses, vans and trucks are on the roads all day, every day, so the impact on air quality and Net Zero of electrifying these vehicles is game-changing. We’re working with fleet managers and operators to support the transition by providing the multi-megawatt capacity they need in their depots now – and in the future. Long-haul heavy-duty truck drivers also need to be able to plan charging stops during rest breaks and overnight with confidence. Truck stops with suitable and sufficient charge points will be critical to supporting the transition of these vehicles. Our model enables capacity to grow with user demand, so we look forward to partnering with operators of HGV charging hubs in key locations.
At each of our locations, we offer megawatt-scale power connections for EV charging. We also work with partners to both develop the business case and get funding. If you want to accelerate your transition to electric, connecting with EDF Renewables can make all the difference.

We have secured connections to National Grid’s high voltage transmission network at up to 40 strategic locations nationwide. Each connection is close to a town or city with the aim of supporting EV charging on the strategic road network.
Project Spotlight
Energy Superhub Oxford is a world-leading urban decarbonisation project which is pioneering an integrated approach to decarbonising power, transport, and heat. It will help Oxford achieve net zero by 2040.
The project showcases a powerful network that combines rapid EV charging, hybrid battery storage, low carbon heating and smart energy management. The project provides a blueprint for towns and cities across the UK to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality.
