Osprey Charging, a prominent electric vehicle charging network in the UK, has partnered with British Paralympian Olivia Breen to promote accessible and inclusive charging for all EV drivers. With a focus on accessibility standards, Osprey is committed to providing not only physically accessible charging stations but also usability features that benefit all drivers. Their dedication extends to clear visual communication and contactless payment systems to ensure a seamless charging experience for individuals with mobility challenges.
As the first charge point operator in the UK to build designed public charging EV hubs, Osprey has been at the forefront of establishing accessibility standards within the EV charging industry. By signing up to organizations like ChargeSafe, which inspects and rates EV charging locations for safety and accessibility, Osprey showcases their commitment to providing safe and inclusive charging options for all drivers. Their efforts include upgrading older sites and designing new ones to maximize accessibility and improve the overall driver experience.
Olivia Breen, a three-time Paralympian and double Commonwealth Games champion, has joined Osprey Charging as an official ambassador. Her advocacy for inclusivity and disability rights aligns with Osprey’s core values, making her a natural fit for promoting accessible charging infrastructure. Together, they aim to raise awareness about the importance of accessible EV charging and empower drivers with disabilities to transition to electric mobility.
In collaboration with Motability Operations, Osprey was chosen as the first charge point operator partner to provide charging options for Motability Scheme EV drivers. Through the Motability Go Charge App, drivers can locate Osprey’s rapid charging network, charge their vehicles, and pay seamlessly. The visibility of reviews on the app helps improve confidence among Motability Scheme drivers in selecting and using public charging facilities, further promoting inclusivity and accessibility within the EV charging landscape.
As the UK’s EV charging infrastructure continues to evolve, Osprey Charging remains committed to championing inclusivity and empowering drivers of all abilities to embrace sustainable electric mobility confidently. By prioritizing accessibility standards and improving the overall charging experience for all drivers, Osprey demonstrates their dedication to making EV charging accessible to everyone.
