SDE Electrical, in collaboration with the SDE Group, was engaged by Gridserve to deliver a full-service EV charging installation adjacent to Aldi in Lincoln. This project involved early-stage feasibility planning, full design development, and complete installation of a new ultra-rapid charging bay featuring six ABB 184kW chargers.
The system is powered by a newly installed Sub Station and a 2500A free-standing LV feeder pillar, both supplied and installed by SDE Electrical and SDE Group. The site now offers a robust, high-capacity charging solution to support the growing demand for electric vehicles in the region.
