Gridserve has doubled ultra-rapid capacity at its Solstice Park hub near Amesbury from eight to 16 bays, adding four 180kW-capable chargers alongside the existing 350kW units, per Gridserve. The site sits on the A303, the main pinch-point route linking London to Devon and Cornwall, so bay capacity there is a genuine constraint on EV fleet journeys west — not just a driver-experience nicety. With 350kW hardware capable of adding 100 miles in roughly ten minutes, queuing time was the real bottleneck; doubling throughput should ease that on peak travel days, though whether it holds up through summer bank holidays remains to be seen.
