What’s on site

Project overview.

Ultra-rapid charging at a Somerset visitor destination.

Gigawatt Industries is delivering a four-bay ultra-rapid charging hub for PoGo at The Somerset Toiletry Co near Bristol, home to a gift shop and the Soap Bar Café. Two 200kW chargers are in place in the existing car park, so once the hub opens visitors can charge in the time it takes to have a coffee.

What we have installed.

The team has installed an 800A Schneider feeder pillar with all supporting cabling and earthing, set the charger foundations and plinth, and fitted the protective bollards. Groundworks were phased around the shop and café staying open, with pedestrian routes kept clear throughout.

Both chargers are in place, with the final works and energisation to come.

Still to come.

The last finishing touches are in hand, and the site is booked in for energisation. Once it goes live the hub adds high-power charging to a stretch of Somerset where ultra-rapid coverage has been thin, useful for local drivers and for anyone breaking a longer journey.
