UK electric vehicle (EV) charge point supplier Evolt, a 129 Swarco company, has completed the installation of Cumbria’s first publicly accessible EV rapid charging network, which is now available for public use.

Nine locations across the county now benefit from an Evolt 50Kw rapid charger that can charge an EV within 30 minutes. A further Evolt 7Kw fast charger, ideal for quick ‘top-ups’ during short stay visits, has also been installed at four of those sites (Carlisle, Kendal, Workington and Keswick). The other five sites are Whitehaven, Ulverston, Kirkby Stephen, Kirkby Lonsdale and Ambleside.
