Amey has announced plans to install up to 100 charging points across Trafford, Greater Manchester – its first public EV chargers in the UK.
Among the first locations now live include Hale, Stretford and Sale, with more sites to follow in the coming months.
Amey has also launched the Amey EV Charging App, available for both Android and Apple devices, and which allows users to locate chargers, check real-time availability, and make secure payments.
The new network is supported by the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements and provides affordable and accessible charging for residents and visitors, helping households without off-street parking.
All chargers are powered entirely by zero-carbon energy, reinforcing Amey’s commitment to decarbonisation and supporting the borough’s commitment to cleaner air and more sustainable transport options.
Amey is also set to roll out charging infrastructure in other locations across the UK.
Councillor Aidan Williams, executive member for climate change at Trafford Council, said, “The arrival of these chargers is a big step forward for greener travel in Trafford. We are committed to our carbon neutral targets and providing practical solutions to help our residents make sustainable choices.
“Working with Amey, we are proud to be at the forefront of positive change in our borough.”
Anna Gornall, EVCI account director at Amey, said, “We are thrilled to see Trafford’s first public EV chargers now in use.
“This project is about making sustainable transport accessible for everyone, and seeing residents already benefit is incredibly rewarding. From planning to installation, this has been a collaborative effort from all involved.”
