Dundee City Council has completed the migration of its entire public and fleet EV charging infrastructure away from the ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) network to Evolt Charging.
The switch of more than 190 public and fleet EV charging points across the city to the Evolt network, including Dundee’s four rapid charging hubs, was completed by Evolt’s local teams in two and a half weeks.
Due to careful planning, clear communication and a phased approach, each individual charger required 30 to 60 minutes downtime, ensuring minimal disruption for drivers.
The transition is the first step in the new long-term contract, in which Evolt – part of Swarco Smart Charging – will be responsible for managing, operating and maintaining Dundee’s public and fleet EV infrastructure over the next 20 years.
Justin Meyer, Managing Director of Swarco Smart Charging said Evolt is fully committed to making transition away from CPS for organisations in Scotland as smooth and seamless as possible for all.
He added, “Over the last 15 years we have built a close, trusted relationship with the city of Dundee and its council.
“Having invested significantly, with more than 50 employees based in the city, we have built an expert and local team that has a deep knowledge of Dundee’s EV infrastructure.
“This, combined with our experience in managing the CPS network over the last four years, provided us a unique advantage in this transition.
“Our teams know the existing system inside and out, which enabled a rapid, responsive migration process with minimal disruption to drivers which is our most important metric.
“Our agreement provides continuity for drivers, who can still use their CPS cards as long as the network remains open.”
