Welsh Gov’t Boosts EV Charging Scheme
PLUG Charging, a leading charging solutions firm, has recently secured a spot on the Welsh Government’s EV Charging Infrastructure Framework, marking a significant milestone for the company and the transition to electric vehicles in Wales.
Under this major contract, PLUG Charging will be responsible for providing a range of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions throughout Wales. This includes the installation of EV chargers, lamp column chargers, roof solar panels, and solar car ports, among other innovative solutions.
Having secured a place on multiple lots within the framework, PLUG Charging is poised for substantial growth opportunities. With a total value of £45 million, the framework covers more than 200 eligible organisations in the public sector in Wales, catering to their public and depot charging needs.
Notably, PLUG Charging will also offer off-grid, net-zero charging solutions as part of the framework. Additionally, all energy supplied through PLUG’s chargers will be sourced from 100% renewable sources, further underlining the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Furthermore, this achievement aligns with the efforts of PLUG’s sister company, FleetEV, which specialises in supporting organisations in transitioning to electric vehicles through customised leasing, salary sacrifice, and fleet solutions.
Jarrad Morris, CEO and Founder of PLUG and FleetEV, expressed his excitement about this development, stating, “We’re thrilled to be recognised as a key player in the Welsh Government’s EV Charging Infrastructure Framework. This is a monumental step forward for us and the public sector in Wales.”
He added, “Through this framework, we have the opportunity to provide sustainable, green energy-powered charging solutions. The inclusion of solar technologies such as roof solar and solar car ports enhances our ability to create a resilient, future-proof charging network. We’re eager to engage with the organisations involved and drive real change in Wales’ EV landscape.”
