Evolt, a member of the 129 Swarco group, has completed the supply and installation of a new network of seven rapid and two fast chargers (EV) charge points on the Western Scotland mainland and the Isle of Mull, on behalf of Argyll and Bute Council.

The new network is Council’s first publicly available EV charging infrastructure, funded by 505 Transport Scotland through a Government-led initiative that helps to promote the use of EVs in Scotland.

Seven of Evolt’s top-of-the-range rapid chargers that can efficiently charge two EVs to 80 per cent of their battery life within 30 minutes through a 50Kw AC and 43Kw DC outlet have been installed throughout the region, including two on Mull. These are supplemented by two 22kW Fast chargers that are ideal for quick ‘top ups’, have AC and DC capability, and take one hour to simultaneously charge two EVs. Each unit has a built in 3G communications modem enabling Evolt’s back office management system to remotely monitor the charging process and collect and provide charging data when needed.
