Answer

QUESTION 1 1) No If your answer to question 1 is NO, please answer question 3: QUESTION 3 3 a) No, the Fleet Department is looking for suitable locations where we can install efficient EV chargers , see the Feasibility Report from the 31st of July 2019 I attached (REP_1906…) Unfortunately not all the Car Parks administrated by MTCBC are suitable with the technology available at the moment and we are looking for cost efficient solutions in the near future. The main charging facility for EV owners in UK is still the home EV charger for the time being supported by public chargers “on route” mainly in service stations, hotels, supermarkets, shopping centres. In Merthyr Tydfil the public already have access to the EV chargers in Tesco Extra, The King Brychan Pub & Restaurant and ASDA Dowlais all cooping well with the demand at this time 3 b) Yes, we are collecting quotes and apply for Grants from the government 3 c) Yes, when the funds are being allocated and is a real need for Street Charging Points
