An indoor charging area is a good idea for Aberdeen, where winter is always dark and often miserable. But I'm surprised they think all this will be profitable with just 6 rapids. Maybe they mean 12 vehicles can charge at a time?

Things like forecourt shops, toilets, cafes and waiting areas will become more normal once 50-rapid hubs become the norm, rather than where there are a dozen or less.

The drawings show 6 units and 12 parking spaces. Each of the 6 charging units can charge two cars at a time.
