Charge points could be rolled out across South West Wales

According to Wales Online, more charging points could be made available across South West Wales in order to cater for an increase in electric cars.

A Clean Air Road Show, which was organised by Swansea Council, showcased electric and hydrogen technology, and as a result, has encouraged the council to explore the concept of rolling out more charge points.

Martin Nicholls, director of place at Swansea Council, said: “The Clean Air Roadshow was a great success, with many thousands of visitors coming along to Castle Square from across South Wales and beyond on the day to discover electric and hydrogen vehicle technology.

“With the profile of this type of technology being raised, it’s important we explore how we can help in terms of ensuring the right infrastructure is in place to support it.”

He continued: “That’s why we’re working closely alongside our local authority, university and health board partners across the region on a study that could see more electric vehicle charging points in place in future all the way from Neath Port Talbot and through the Swansea Bay City Region to Pembrokeshire.

“We support technology of this kind because it’s sustainable and helps Swansea cut its carbon footprint as we look to become a greener, more environmentally aware city.”
