Two new solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) chargers have been installed at the Centre for Engineering & Manufacturing Excellence (CEME) in East London.
The two twin Evolt units were installed by ChargePoint Services and will be powered by a giant solar canopy, which consists of 45 solar panels that can produce up to 10kW of electricity per hour.
The new charge points will be open to anyone visiting the CEME and can be accessed by any driver on ChargePoint Services’ GeniePoint network.
Paul Johnston, operations director at CEME, said: “CEME offers world class facilities in engineering, technology and manufacturing support services both to existing businesses as well as skills development support, our commitment to these services is integral to our high standards of environmental management across all aspects of our operations. Providing on-site electric vehicle charging which is largely powered by solar produced energy demonstrates our commitment to supporting a green agenda by reducing harmful emissions of vehicles used around the Centre.”
