Birmingham City Council has implemented a network of 36 1936 APT Technologies Evolt electric vehicle (EV) charging points at 18 locations across the city in both on- and off-street locations, installed by E.ON Energy.

The posts are part funded by the UK Government’s Plugged-In Midlands scheme and it is anticipated that the scheme, managed by Cenex, will lead to a regional network of more than 500 electric vehicle charging points across both the east and West Midlands.
 
The Evolt Street charge features a tamper-proof opening mechanism for the two charging outlets. Simple to access and use, it has a digital screen that displays information such as user ID, energy consumption and charging times and LED lighting to show charge point status.
