This makes it a prime stop for city logistics operators, private hire drivers, local residents, and local businesses alike.

The site has been transformed from a derelict row of garages into a modern charging oasis, offering a safe, clean, and sustainable asset for the community.

With the possibility of up to 300 kW per bay, the station offers ultra-rapid charging capability that enables EVs to recharge in minutes, getting customers back on the road quickly.

The site also features extra-large, accessible bays designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicles – from cars to private hire vehicles, delivery vans, and larger logistics fleets – ensuring ease of use for both individual drivers and commercial operators.

LEAP24 proudly offers the most competitive network-wide ultra-rapid rate within the M25 at just 69p/kWh, ensuring value as well as speed.

Elected Mayor Peter Taylor of Watford performed the first official charge at the new station, symbolising a milestone for green transport infrastructure in the region.

This initiative aligns with our commitment to sustainability and green transport. It’s important that we have the infrastructure necessary so that people can choose electric vehicles, resulting in cleaner air for all of us.”
