Leeds — West Yorkshire

Leeds

A 12-bay ultra-rapid EV charging hub in development in Leeds — a corridor carrying 30,000+ vehicles per day, with a grid connection secured and BP and Morrisons adjacent.

About this site

The Leeds hub will sit directly on a main commuter corridor in West Yorkshire linking Leeds and Bradford, carrying more than 30,000 vehicles a day. The site neighbours a BP petrol station and a Morrisons supermarket, so drivers can charge, shop and refuel within a single stop.

Moreco has already secured the grid connection and progressed the site layout. The hub will offer 12 ultra-rapid bays and sits on what was previously a piece of underutilised roadside land — a clear example of Moreco's brownfield-first approach to EV infrastructure delivery.

Why this site works

  • 30,000+ vehicles/day — this is a primary Leeds–Bradford commuter corridor.
  • BP & Morrisons adjacency — established forecourt and supermarket drive natural dwell alongside EV charging.
  • Grid connection secured — the hardest single constraint for most hubs is already in place.
  • Brownfield-first — the site is underutilised roadside land repurposed into working charging infrastructure.

How Moreco is delivering it

Moreco identified the site for its commuter traffic volumes, its BP and Morrisons adjacency, and the availability of a viable grid connection. A detailed site layout has been developed to Rev D (see the plan above). With grid connection already secured, the scheme now moves into planning finalisation, operator selection, and construction mobilisation.
