Engie and Bromsgrove District Council have launched a new electric vehicle (EV) charging network.
Powered by Engie’s GeniePoint network, it will provide Bromsgrove-registered taxi drivers with the opportunity to charge their EVs free of charge for the first year.
With further substantial discounts offered for the next nine years, it is hoped the initiative will encourage more drivers to make the shift towards adopting EVs.
A total of 13 GeniePoint Network rapid chargers will be installed and will be available for use by the public as well as other businesses making the change to EVs.
Jerry Moloney, managing director for Engie’s Futures business, said that the rollout is an exciting step towards improving EV infrastructure in the locality and, with discounts offered to Bromsgrove-registered taxi drivers, he hopes it will encourage a great number of drivers to make the switch to an EV.
