There are currently more than 400 open access (can be used with any electric vehicle), rapid (50kW+) chargepoints at MSAs across England. Over 200 of these are ultra-rapid chargepoints (150kW+), which can deliver around 120-145 miles of range in just 15 minutes for a typical electric vehicle, compared to around 45 minutes for a rapid (50kW) chargepoint.
