A new charging hub which has been set up in Strathclyde Country Park, just outside Glasgow, will be supplied, installed and maintained by Swarco.
Six charging points will make up the first EV charging hub delivered through Project Pace.
Swarco has also been working directly with North and South Lanarkshire councils as part of a wider investment that will see 40 new hubs delivered across the region by April 2021.
Justin Meyer, general manager of Swarco eVolt, said: “It is an ambitious initiative delivering an intensive roll-out programme of EV charging points.
“Project Pace’s concentrated programme in Lanarkshire, which is set to triple the number of public charge points, will offer valuable insight into the positive effects that a robust network of charging hubs can have on EV ownership.”
Swarco charging points are already in operation across Scotland with around 900 on the ChargePoint Scotland network.
Meyer explained that the locations of these charging hubs will be key to enabling the mass take up of EVs across the country: “From a driver’s perspective, the network of charging hubs will provide multiple charge points at each well-chosen location, including our rapid chargers.
“This will provide better access to charging with less waiting time, which in turn radically improves the customer experience and enjoyment of driving an EV.”
