Just been announced ( or just hit the mainstream press anyway). Sounds like a step in the right direction.

First of a planned 100 apparently. no kw prices yet of course but sounds encouraging:

- Rapid charging – Each vehicle will be able to charge simultaneously at the fastest power levels supported. This includes 350kW chargers – offering less than 30-minute charge times, with options to upgrade chargers to 500kW, and MW charging options for buses and heavy goods vehicles.
- Competitive pricing – GRIDSERVE is also investing in grid infrastructure and new solar energy capacity to be able to deliver dependable, clean, low-cost energy that materially improves the business case for EVs, and is competitive with the cost of home charging.
- Minimal waiting – The site will include 24 ultra-fast charging bays, with batteries to support the maximum power requirements of all chargers simultaneously. A queuing system will also minimise waiting times, with a future upgrade that will allow customers to be able to reserve charging slots in advance.
