A major electric vehicle charging hub has been installed at one of Scotland's busiest business parks following a sharp rise in occupancy.
The EV charging hub, which is now open and offers ultra-rapid charging, has been developed by Source, a collaboration between SSE and TotalEnergies.
The opening of the hub at Maxim Park at Eurocentral in Lanarkshire comes at a time when the business park has been enjoying major success in attracting new tenants.
Banking giant HSBC arrived at Maxim Park in 2025 in what has been described as one of the most significant office lettings transacted in Scotland in recent years.
Policy Expert, Virgin Media O2, and infrastructure firm Amey have also taken space in the business park, bringing hundreds of additional workers to the site.

Source said the 12-bay facility features 160-kilowatt, ultra-rapid chargers which allow most electric vehicles to “charge and go” in around 15 minutes, based on industry-accepted charging session data.
It added: “Situated directly off the M8 - one of Scotland's major transport routes connecting Glasgow and Edinburgh - the hub is also easily accessible via the M73 and M74 motorways.”
Source, which plans to deliver 300 new ultra-rapid charging hubs across the UK and Ireland over the next five years, said its facility at Maxim Park offers contactless payment options and 24/7 customer support, with “an emphasis on user-friendly design”.
It added: “The facility is powered by renewable energy, utilising infrastructure from SSE and technology from TotalEnergies to provide both environmental benefits and convenient charging.”
Deepa Chandrasekaran, managing director of Source, said: “Our Maxim Park hub arrives at an exciting time for Eurocentral, as the business park welcomes a wave of major new tenants. With 12 ultra-rapid charging bays, we're providing the reliable infrastructure that businesses and their employees need to make the switch to electric vehicles with confidence.
“Whether it's fleet operators, commuters or visitors, this hub ensures fast, dependable charging in a prime commercial location.”
