An electric vehicle charging provider has launched in Northumberland creating 12 new engineering jobs.
Sleekburn-based UK EV Power Connections will offer clients the ability to design systems directly to the electricity network - a break from previous setups where charging points would need a connection to a 'distribution network operator' (DNO), which incurs costs. The firm says it is the first of its type to offer this service that will allow clients to make savings.
It will also offer feasibility studies to identify the best locations for charging stations. Bill Robertson, managing director at UK EV Power Connections, said: “This new market offering enables companies and local authorities to achieve a design scheme direct to the electricity network without the significant costs previously known in the industry.
