Sutton is to benefit from 13 new rapid and ultra-fast EV charging points following completion of a UK Power Networks Services project.
These charge points are now ready to use for the council’s electrified fleet operating out of Gibson Road at the Civic Centre offices in South London.
The completion marks the successful end of a six-month project completed for UK Power Networks Services, which involved excavating the carpark to install a new supply and extensive cable ductwork for future expansion.
