Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Electric Vehicle (EV) users in Carmarthenshire should be confident that they will be able to recharge their vehicles easily and quickly at convenient locations. The uptake of EVs will lead to improvements in air quality in Carmarthenshire, as well having wider benefits such as helping mitigate climate change through decarbonisation of transport.
Our Electric Vehicle Strategy has been created to provide a plan and technical evidence base that supports the transition to zero emission vehicles for Carmarthenshire’s residents, organisations, businesses, and visitors.
Our vision is to develop and promote a network of electric charging points, that provides for and encourages future growth in Electric Vehicle use, and in doing so future proofs our transport network and contributes to local and global pollution reductions.
We are seeking ways to enable home charging for residents without off street parking. We have just concluded our trials for cross pavement gullies, and we are investigating how this solution could be adopted and offered to all residents.
In the meantime, we do not allow the trailing of cables across the footway, nor the use of cable mats or covers.
