The project is part-funded through the Government’s on-street residential charge point scheme and Believ, and includes planning, installation, operation and ongoing maintenance of charge points. “From delivering fully-funded solutions to working in partnership with other sources of funding, we work to deploy bespoke, end-to-end EV charging solutions that suit the area and our partners best. It is through these partnerships and active collaboration that we move closer to achieving cleaner air for all, and we are excited to be part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s journey.”
