189 Siemens has supplied and installed two triple-outlet, multi-standard rapid charging points in Cirencester and Moreton-in-Marsh for Cotswold District Council (CDC), UK, providing fast top-ups for visitors and residents with electric vehicles travelling within and through the region. A grant from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) provided funding for the project.

Siemens’ range of charging technology includes both modular DC and AC variants for all charging standards, including CHAdeMO and CSC COMBO 2.

CDC’s Cabinet Member for Enterprise and Partnerships Councillor, Chris Hancock, said:

“The new technology will provide an important strategic link between existing charging points on the M4, M5 and M40, encouraging more drivers to stop off in the Cotswolds. We are always looking for innovative ways to harness technology which reduces our carbon footprint, and the installation of EV chargers in both Cirencester and Moreton will be seen as a very positive step forward.”
