A NEW electric vehicle charging operator is to be appointed for south Warwickshire.
The new operator will install and manage new charging infrastructure in a joint agreement with Warwick and Stratford district council.
The aim is for the new EV chargers to be faster, more accessible, and more cost effective. It also looks to reduce carbon emissions in south Warwickshire.
WDC’s decarbonisation spokesperson Coun Lowell Williams said: “By commissioning this work jointly with Stratford District Council, we will be able to offer the latest technology in EV charging for our residents and visitors who use our car parks.
“Our new EV chargers will be faster, accessible, more cost effective and result in a shorter dwell time at the charging point, which is great news for electric vehicle owners.
“By getting the infrastructure right and maintaining the availability of EV charging points across the district, we will be encouraging more drivers to change over to electric vehicles, which is positive for reducing emissions and improving air quality in the district.”
The existing EV Charging infrastructure in car parks will be phased out in readiness for the start of the new operating contract. There is likely to be a gap between the end of life of the existing chargers and the installation of the new EV charging infrastructure.
