Following the immediate success of Tap Zap Go’s Kent EV charging site, which only recently opened in mid-2025, we are now excited to announce the next major addition to our network. Electric vehicle drivers in West Yorkshire now have an excellent new reason to plug in when visiting or travelling through the area. Tap Zap Go has introduced its latest ultra-rapid EV charging in Castleford, providing a fast, straightforward and cost-effective way for drivers to recharge. Whether you are local, visiting nearby attractions, or simply passing through, this new charging point is set to become a reliable and convenient stop for electric motorists.
A New Standard for EV Charging in Castleford
Situated on Willowbridge Lane, Castleford (WF10 5NW), the Tap Zap Go charging point offers 120 kW CCS2 ultra-rapid charging. This enables compatible electric vehicles to gain significant range within a short stop, making it ideal for drivers needing a reliable charge without delay.
One of Tap Zap Go’s biggest strengths is its simplicity. There are no apps, login details or memberships required. Drivers simply tap a contactless debit or credit card, plug in, and begin charging. For those who prefer a straightforward, fuss-free system, this point is one of the most convenient solutions in the area.
Equally appealing is the transparent and competitive pricing, set at 49p per kWh (including VAT). In comparison with many public charging stations that require sign-ups or charge higher tariffs for rapid charging, Tap Zap Go’s approach is refreshingly direct, customer-friendly and cost-effective.
