The London Borough of Sutton will benefit from new EV charging points following completion of a UK Power Networks Services project.

A total of 13 new rapid and ultra-fast charging points are energised and ready to use for the council’s electrified fleet operating out of Gibson Road at the Civic Centre offices in Sutton.

The completion marks the successful end of a six-month project completed for UK Power Networks Services, which involved excavating the carpark to install a new supply and extensive cable ductwork for future expansion.

David Mitchell, director of UK Power Networks Services, said:

“We are excited to collaborate with Sutton Council to install advanced electric vehicle chargers.

“This initiative is a significant step towards creating a sustainable and eco-friendly transportation network in the area.”

Ian Watts, energy manager, London Borough of Sutton, said:

“UK Power Networks Services has delivered exceptional work on this EV project, which will positively impact the Sutton community.”
