    This charging facility is on the south side of Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, which gives you the option to grab something to eat, a sneaky iced latte, or do a bit of shopping while you wait for your car to charge - but you best be quick as the chargers are fast! This facility is relatively new, having opened last year, which means it still looks quite fresh.

    Most terminals have bollards in front, although here they are positioned either side of the machine rather than directly in front, with the exception of two units that have rubber stoppers at the front (these are not the bays with markings on either side). Support arms are installed to help with the weight of the cables. The card reader is reachable from a seated height, as are the cables. However, it's worth noting for those who need to reverse to charge, that there is no space to retrieve a mobility device from the boot.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue

    There are 12 EV charging bays at this location: 11 bays offering 160kW CCS charging, and one bay offering 100kW CHAdeMO charging. There are also two bays with hatched markings on both sides, which is helpful if you need to fully open a door on either side. This also means there are two further bays with hatched markings on one side only.

    Accessible facilities: Electric Vehicle Charging, Dedicated on-site parking

    Accessible Toilets

    There are accessible toilets and a Changing Places toilet located in the nearby shopping centre.
