The scheme aims to encourage more people to consider switching to an electric car, to help improve air quality in urban hotspots, and assist the government in meeting its emission-cutting targets.

This project demonstrates VolkerSmart Technologies’ extensive experience in installing a range of charging points, safely and efficiently, in busy, public environments, whilst working alongside the Boroughs and Siemens to recommend the latest technology available and best value for money.
