JLR installs 166 EV charge points
Jaguar Land Rover has installed 166 smart charging outlets for electric vehicles at its Gaydon engineering centre.
The outlets are for use by employees to encourage uptake of electric vehicles – because research shows 40% of electric car charging in Europe takes place at work.
Charging points will also be installed in the visitors’ car park, so guests can take advantage of convenient fast charging. This smart charging network is believed to be the largest single installation of its kind in the UK.
Mick Cameron, head of e-Mobility at Jaguar Land Rover, said, ‘We hope that by providing a network of electric charging points to staff and visitors at our Gaydon engineering centre we can help encourage the uptake of alternative fuels amongst our employees.
‘It’s all part of our commitment to acting more sustainably – our UK facilities are already powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity and we believe the new charging points will help our employees to tread lightly on their daily commute.’
