Matthew Anderson, development director at Trafford Centre managers Pradera Lateral, stated that the proposals would introduce 47 new ultra-rapid chargers, pushing the total to 65." These additional charging points are aimed at making the Trafford Centre the largest ultra-rapid charging hub in Europe, enhancing accessibility for electric vehicle users. He noted the design aims to complement the existing centre and local area, securing improvements in biodiversity and supporting sustainable travel. Thus, the project seeks to not only advance electric vehicle infrastructure but also create a greener environment through architectural innovations like a vertical living wall.
The development will also feature a Starbucks Drive Thru and a super-charger lounge, creating a holistic experience for visitors. The combination of amenities such as the car showroom and a digital advertising screen reflects the move towards integrating modern commercial features with sustainable transport solutions. Anderson emphasized that this thoughtful design not only meets current needs but also prepares the Trafford Centre for future demands as electric vehicle ownership continues to rise.
