Salford Royal Hospital – 24 charge points for an NHS hospital. In three days.
A busy acute hospital. Growing EV demand from patients and visitors. No time for an 18-month grid upgrade. Two HALO FastHub units, daisy-chained, live in three days.
Challenge. Solution. Outcome.
Challenge
A hospital that couldn’t wait for the DNO.
Salford Royal serves thousands of patients and visitors every week. EV demand was growing fast. The conventional answer — grid upgrade, civils, 12 to 18 months, was not an option for a site that runs 24/7.
Solution
Two hubs, daisy-chained, installed in three days.
Two HALO FastHub units were installed with cabling daisy-chained between them, halving the civils cost. 24 charge points and 40 kWp of solar generation, working within the hospital’s existing grid capacity. Live in three days. Site uninterrupted throughout.
Outcome
Patients arrive and charge. Net Zero gets a real foundation.
Patients and visitors charge on arrival. Solar generation reduces grid reliance across the site. Northern Care Alliance now has visible, working infrastructure behind its Net Zero commitments not just a target on a slide
We’re cutting our carbon footprint in practical ways and the new twin charging hub will make it even easier for visitors with electric vehicles to recharge while they’re here.
