Shell EV competition, Sutton Scotney South
Competition proposal for new Shell EV Charging station Sutton Scotney South. In association with Bayliss Design.
As the global market for electric vehicles continues to expand, the United Kingdom is keeping pace with this transformative shift in transportation. With an increasing number of vehicles designed for plug-in capability, the establishment of dedicated electric vehicle charging hubs is emerging as the cornerstone of future mobility.
Shell, renowned primarily for its presence in the oil industry, marked a pioneering milestone by converting an existing fuel station into the UK's inaugural electric vehicle charging hub. This visionary move signified a significant shift towards sustainable transportation.
The overwhelmingly positive response from society to this bold initiative prompted the client to announce an architectural competition. The goal is to realize an innovative EV charging hub designed to accommodate both cars and trucks. This multifaceted project will seamlessly integrate with an existing fuel station, serving the needs of both car and truck users, strategically located at the A34 in Sutton Scotney South. The development also includes an exciting program featuring a Little Waitrose convenience store and a Café, further enhancing the convenience and appeal of the site.
