LIKE if you think this is the future and SHARE to share the positive energy! This is the future, now! Robert gets a world exclusive first look at GRIDSERVE's awesome electric forecourt, before it opens next week. It's the first of its kind in the UK, the first of one hundred. The forecourt can charge 36 cars simultaneously with a variety of rapid chargers, while drivers and passengers utilise the retail and food facilities at their leisure. What makes this off-the-scale amazing though is that all of the power to charge these EVs comes from sustainable energy, including a 60 acre solar farm, and all surplus energy for the Electric Forecourt goes back into the grid. Their big plans don't end there though, as part of the ambition to make the transition to EVs as easy as possible, GRIDSERVE are launching their own EV leasing service. We love everything about this and cannot wait to see what GRIDSERVE do next!

@@iareid8255 map coordinates?:-) Solar farm in Dorset? That must a long cable. They must mean they generate X mega watts and use X mega watts.

I for one would feel like im being spoken to like an adult and not trying to be sold another pup.
Adam, I forget the name of the company but this plant was built to supply the grid, so is connected to it. It has battery storage and this facility was used and well paid to provide frequency support to the grid.
One thing that seems to be missing from the video, how much power do those roof panels produce? They only mentioned the off-site farm. And are those two-sided panels? They certainly looked like there is no back plate but I'm not sure. For those who haven't heard of double sided panels, if you put the panels up like that and it has no back cover it also collects the light reflected from below and each panel produces more power. The light to electricity conversion efficiency stays same and so does the cost of panels and installation, but because each m2 of panels gets more incoming light than the normal 1000W/m2 it is more efficient use of space and ends up costing less per watt than regular solar farms.
@@TriviaChallenge at most service station there is 100’s of car parking spaces. For electric car to be the future we will need hundreds/thousands in car parks and service stations.
@@magyir Yes, but I have little interest in those, but it's nice to see that you could buy paper and pen, write a letter, and post it whilst you are refuelling :)
Omg!! Cannot believe this. This is ethereal. Wish GridServe opens up some branches in southern USA as well. This facility looked so so good. And well thought out . How they are using batteries and solar/wind to see energy to grid to have passive income. Amazing. Hope they flourish in UK
Do any of you have a drone by chance? I'm trying to add the station to OpenStreetMap but atm there are no aerial images available that are recent enough to show it. If someone from the area could take some straight down drone shots, that would help 😂
I spent the whole morning at the forecourt today, had a coffee, logged in to the WiFi in the lounge upstairs, had a few online meetings, spoke with staff that worked there, met my daughter there for another coffee while she charged her car and don’t forget I charged my car. This is the future and just what is needed to bring confidence to the electric charging infrastructure. The place is outstanding.
Amazing. This would be so ideal where I live, on the highways of Florida... wide open spaces, unlimited sunshine and wind. I hope Biden sees this video!
@@volkhen0 Trust me Mariusz, ...Florida Man are everywhere. I've never seen such stupidity in all my life, lol. But it is a beautiful place, and incredibly diverse...Florida is what you make it, and I am happy I moved here.
THIS is what we need to do if we want the general public to embrace EV's. This is what all of our convenience stores, truck-stops, etc. need to evolve into.
It looks like someone's pipe dream, and yet it actually exists. This is awesome, and they sell their excess energy back to the grid!. These people need to get the motorway services franchise.
As a Braintree person with a model 3, I have been watching the gradual construction of this facility. Hadn't realised it was finished until I saw Roberts video. Have now been to have a look myself and my oh my what an absolutely wonderful development, well done to everyone involved at Gridserve and hoping you go from strength to strength and open as many of these around the country as possible.
I was expecting a video about an "electric gas station" with a coffee shop and a few solar panels to make it look green. I was blown away. This is so much more. Good video.
These are my favourite type of videos from fully charged. Solutions for the future exhibited, with experts on the topic at hand. Makes me want to be part of it. Gets me excited for a brighter future. Good work fully charged. More please.
This is the type of classic Fully Charged Content that has kept me going for 10 years. So excited and happy the UK is getting this... we could use this in the USA as well!
Not too shabby guys. Not too shabby at all. It’s a great installation and can’t wait to hopefully drive my future electric car into one of these places someday.
This caused my soul swell with happiness. I've waited my entire life for solar and wind to become the way we get power. Though at 59 I've not the economics to buy one, I am ecstatic that battery powered cars have become main stream... This excitement reminds me of the buzz in the 80's for the possibilities with computers. It's taken 30 years to get where I wanted it to be back then but WOW... Now your phone is 1000 times faster than my old TRS-80 was. We'll get there.. !
Fantastic, well done to the Entrepreneurs who got this off the ground, this is the future and very exciting. UKGov should be pushing these forecourts as fast as possible, with the so called "Green agenda". I like the business model that allows so many revenue streams. These should be on every Motorway services, not the half hearted, hit and miss "Electric Highway".
Literally a dream for me. I’ve been wanting to see stations like this built for years and I’m so glad it’s finally here! It’s a great time to drive electric! ⚡️
Absolutely delighted to have been invited to attend today. If it is possible even more amazing to see it in reality. From posh toilets to coffee, will definitely be returning in the near future.
I live in an upstairs flat with a designated parking space and as things are i have stuck with ICE but this is a game changer. Plug in and pay with debit card like you do for petrol , pick a few bits up in the shop and have coffee. This enough to convert me.
Well done Robert. You've been a great advocate for electric vehicles for many years and now things are really starting to move. 2021 is going to be exciting. Gridserve deserve a lot of success with their ethically driven business model.
Just blown away by this - it's brilliant 😃👏👏👏 Gridserve's Electric Forecourt shows us what the future of EV passenger travel in the UK will look like. Their achievement should be acknowledged and showcased on all mainstream media. A truly inspiring example of what a forward thinking UK based company can achieve. I will certainly be going to see this as soon as I'm able to, even though I won't become an EV driver until next year. The idea of having a showroom upstairs is another example of their visionary approach, and acknowledges the fact they need to get the remaining 99% of car drivers into EV's. It shows real business acumen. If they are able to realise their ambition of building 100 Electric Forecourts to service the whole of the UK it would be fantastic!!
Good episode Robert. Next time we are in the UK we will visit this site. We will be using electric rental car so perfect if they had these all along the motorways. Awesome.
I Imagine that is for the 22kW AC chargers, and differnt prices depending on charger - otherwise you are going to get Nissan Leafs hogging the 350kW chargers. I don't see any other way of policing this.
This is absolutely bananas. I think we all agree this is what we all want. Can you tell me when was the last time we all felt super pumped up for a gas station? Never! This is the future and I can't wait to live it.
This is so great! Well done, so excellent to see new businesses built on a commitment to sustainability yet also so clearly a good, well structured and profitable business model too. This is the embodiment of change.
It really isn’t. Not since 2015 when the LibDems left and Cameron said now we ‘cut the green crap.’ The current government banned onshore wind and scrapped grants for home solar, and has not put any serious money towards its climate change targets. There is plenty of innovation and energy from the private sector but no government action.
@@bjephcott1 The biggest deployments and auctions of wind have all been since 2015. they absolutely dwarf pre 15. Home solar grants made no sense when prices are 1/4 what I paid for my solar a decade ago.
Nice fields of solar panels??? That's minus how many trees? How about a couple of wind turbines and some agricultural use underneath them? Oh sorry I forgot the Government effectively gave every Nimby a veto on that while handing over the offshore wind to Dutch/Danish/Norwegian companies at double the cost of onshore wind!
7 miles from me. Can't wait to visit and find out more. Amazing film and so positive. I hope the UK Government is watching because they could do a lot worse than support 99 more of these.
A genuinely great FC episode. Not too much fluff, and Robert presenting and interviewing. And on a subject that is still incredibly overlooked, certainly in the UK - charging infrastructure. Why is this so important? Because without overwhelming charging infrastructure there will be no virtual elimination of the fossil fuel vehicle.
This is blooming awesome - I can't wait to pay my first visit to Braintree, from Gravesend, Kent. Absolutely love what they've done, and the very obvious enthusiasm by the team who have been through the pains and trials of EV ownership. Bravo. Well done team. Applause.
This is so .... UNBELIEVABLE . AMAZINGLY POSITIVE. Love the tree planting on a lease, renewable energy, easy to use, simplicity & vision. UNBELIEVABLE. This has made my day
This is absolutely brilliant. No other way to describe it. I drink coffee, need a snack, need to use the loo... the car is charging while I am doing all of these things. This needs to come to the USA. Holy heck.
Absolutely amazing, the future certainly looks brighter everyday for public charging. We pick up our first electric car in a week and can’t wait to start our EV journey which will certainly be easier with more sites like Gridserve.
I'm a Tesla driver, and we are well catered for in terms of charging network, but this is next level. This should be widely available, not only in the UK but also in the EU. Very, very well done!

The future is present. Just copy this forever
Beautiful as long as it's sustainable

There is lnothing not to like about this. I am so impressed. Can't wait for these to pop up all over the place over the next 5 years.
This is amazing. We'll hopefully look back on this video after 10 years and say "do you remember when the first one opened?".
One of my favourite ever Fully Charged episodes. What Gridserve have done (and are doing) is just mind-blowing. Puts the oil giants to shame.
I totally agree with you my friend ( This is the future )
I hope the oil giants see this and change their thinking and invest in the future.
Puts Electric Highway to shame
when are you going to have a look Andrew
Yes , they could name themselves Futureserve too.
I never thought that I would think a forecourt would be beautiful and make me excited. Charge and Costa.... ffs, I’m off to buy an EV.
And no petrol, diesel smells and diesel spills on the floor
@@Walterp60 I love the smell of diesel in the morning...
WhSmith with a Post Office too.
@@magyir Yes, but I have little interest in those, but it's nice to see that you could buy paper and pen, write a letter, and post it whilst you are refuelling :)

If they can build a hundred of these sites it would be bloody incredible, well done sir, the future is yours and ours, drivers of EV salute you.
I live in Braintree, and watched this being built. As engineering goes it’s absolutely stunning.
I work round the corner from here. I am so glad they welcome ICE cars, will be popping by to grab a costa very soon!
Same! I’ve driven past it a couple of times recently just to have a look.
Do any of you have a drone by chance?
I'm trying to add the station to OpenStreetMap but atm there are no aerial images available that are recent enough to show it.
If someone from the area could take some straight down drone shots, that would help 😂
couldnt agree more. The high quality of the service station is equally as important as the fact that it serves electric cars
