Two 400 kW chargers and four accessible bays proposed at Dartford McDonald's site

Developers have submitted a planning application to Dartford council for two 400 kW ultra-rapid EV chargers and four accessible charging bays with associated infrastructure outside McDonald's in Princes Road, Dartford. The application states the scheme would significantly boost EV charging capacity in the area. The proposal is among several recent planning submissions to the council.

Why it matters: The 400 kW ultra-rapid specification and accessible bay provision signal commercial appetite for high-power roadside charging at hospitality locations. Procurement teams and site hosts will watch whether local planning approval timelines support rollout velocity for similar forecourt schemes.
