The hub is open to all brands and will provide six 350kW HPC stations. The site opening was supported by NIE Networks.

The Toome site is a fully fledged motorway service station located along the A6, connecting Derry/Londonderry and Belfast[2].

Boasting a coffee shop amongst other amenities, the installation will undoubtedly provide greater footfall to businesses in this location while providing EV motorists with a convenient place to charge their cars along their journeys.

These two new Ionity hubs will put public ultra-fast charging on the map for the country and enable fast, reliable and green mobility.
