NewMotion takes on North Somerset Council’s EV charge points

EV charging provider NewMotion has agreed to run North Somerset County Council’s EV charge points.

The deal will see NewMotion convert existing plug-in points into new units with Elmtronics.

NewMotion has converted the majority of its existing Public and Business use charge points in North Somerset, previously operated by Charge Your Car, and incorporated them into its charge network of over 30,000 cloud connected smart charge points

Having the charge points operated by NewMotion means EV drivers in the county can now charge up their vehicles without the need for any monthly or annual subscriptions. Instead, only a fair transaction fee of 35p is charged per successful charge.

Carl Nicholson, fleet manager at North Somerset County Council said, “We are really excited to be working with partners, Elmtronics and NewMotion as they have a great track record of offering a stable and reliable charge point network with a quality service to customers.

“By connecting our chargers to NewMotion’s cloud platform, we now have a state of the art system at a lower cost helping to reduce administration and resources, enabling the council to continue our fight to reduce pollution in North Somerset and aid us in our bid to run one of the greenest Fleet of Vehicles in the UK.”
