Former power station site near Amazon warehouse earmarked for major electric lorry charging hub

By Eve

A disused power station site adjacent to an Amazon facility is being proposed for development as a large scale electric lorry charging hub. The Kent Online report indicates the site could serve heavy goods vehicles operating in the logistics sector. No specific capacity figures or timeline were disclosed in the available excerpt.

Why it matters: The project signals growing infrastructure investment to support fleet electrification in the freight and logistics sector, particularly near major distribution centres. Proximity to Amazon suggests potential anchor tenant demand for HGV charging as operators transition to zero emission vehicles.
