The new hub features 19 ultra-fast bp pulse charging bays

A new ultra-fast EV charging hub and Starbucks café has opened next a crucial junction in south Leeds.

The Dewsbury Road site, located next to Tingley Interchange, sits between the M62 and M1, one of the North's busiest transport gateways, with chargers open 24 hours a day.

It will offer a new place for local residents, commuters and those travelling through the area to stop, recharge and grab a coffee.
