Additional facilities on the forecourt will include Wi-Fi, a lounge, toilets, Costa Coffee, a Little Fresh convenience store and an interactive electric vehicle experience area, open from 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Bronwen Jones, development director at London Gatwick, said: “We are proud to be the first international airport to open a GRIDSERVE power station. The charging station has been placed in a strategic location and will be available to millions of passengers, commuters, staff, residents and businesses passing through the area each year.
“We are making sustainability part of everything we do here at London Gatwick and are committed to creating a low-carbon economy by providing new infrastructure that everyone can use.”
The new facility follows the opening of the new London Gatwick train station in November, funding for hydrogen buses on the local Metrobus network and investments to double the Reading train service, all of which contribute to the ambition of London Gatwick aims to achieve 60 per cent of trips to and from the airport zero or ultra-low emissions by 2030.
