Connected Car
Cambridge City Council’s ambitious programme to install hundreds more electric vehicle (EV) charging points in its car parks has reached another milestone, with the official switching on of the first 15 publicly accessible chargers. More than 600 new EV charging points are being installed at 14 car parks across Cambridge in the coming years, in partnership with Connected Kerb, one of the UK’s largest providers of EV charging infrastructure. The new public EV charging points were switched on during a special event at Adam and Eve Car Street Park attended by the Mayor of Cambridge Cllr Jenny Gawthrope-Wood and Connected Kerb’s brand ambassador, former Great Britain rugby league international Martin Offiah MBE. As part of the project, community outreach work will also take place in local schools, businesses and organisations to spread the word about electric vehicle charging. We want to help make it as easy as possible for people to charge their cars or make the switch to electric vehicles to help with the city’s goal of being net zero by 2030.
