Lymington Harbour adds 75kW Aqua superPower fast charger for electric boats

Lymington is exactly the kind of strategic location we need to support the growth of electric boating in the UK. It is a globally recognised sailing destination with a busy mix of leisure and commercial marine activity, and providing reliable fast charging here helps make electric propulsion a more practical option for boat owners and operators.

The Electric Seaway was designed to demonstrate what a connected network of marine charging infrastructure can achieve, and installations such as Lymington are an important part of that vision. By putting high-power charging where vessels actually operate, we are helping to remove one of the key barriers to wider adoption of electric propulsion and giving boat users greater confidence to make the transition.

Installing a marine fast charger at Lymington is directly aligned with our Climate Commitment Policy, which sets out our ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2050 and halve our carbon footprint by 2030. But it was also important to us that we became part of a wider charging network, rather than simply installing a charger in isolation. Giving boaters the confidence to migrate to electric requires a network of reliable charging locations, and the connections with nearby sites in Chichester, Cowes and Poole are an important part of that.

We also want to lead by example. We are already working to migrate our own work and patrol boats to electric. Having access to fast charging makes those conversions more practical and more achievable, while strengthening Lymington’s role as a key location within the emerging marine charging network.
