Costelloes EV Group has signed a partnership with Wrexham County Borough Council to oversee the operation, maintenance, and installation of EV charge points on council-owned land.
Over the next year, the council plans to install more than 45 smaller charge point units and two charge point mobility hubs, supported by a £758,654 contribution from the Welsh Government’s Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle Transformation Fund for 2024/25.
This long-term, fully funded partnership aims to expand the network of chargers across the county at a lower cost and enhance service quality.
The initiative is part of the council’s efforts to decarbonise transport across the county borough, leveraging available funding opportunities.
Costelloes, based in Ellesmere Port, specialises in providing solar, battery storage, and EV charging solutions.
Cllr David A. Bithell, Deputy Leader and Climate Champion, said, “We’re delighted to sign the innovative partnership with Costelloes EV Group, to help us expand and improve upon our network of electric vehicle charge points.
“We want to support our residents to move towards using electric vehicles by providing them with more high-quality, well-maintained charge points across Wrexham, and securing an agreement with an industry specialist will help us to deliver that.”
David Costelloe, Managing Director of Costelloes EV Group, said, “We’re thrilled to be appointed to deliver Wrexham County Borough Council’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure, installing and operating a full range of electric vehicle charge points, as a first step in our partnership to deliver decarbonisation solutions across the county.
“With over 30 years of experience in the electrical industry, our team is dedicated to staying at the forefront of new developments and technologies.”
