They are expected to be installed by the end of the year on Bute Crescent and Howard Place – Engenie says they require no membership and are used with standard contactless payment cards.

It notes they will work with every EV currently on the market and can charge a battery to 80% capacity in under an hour.

Patrick Sherriff. Business Development Director at Engenie. said: “Our national network of rapid chargers is greatly improving air quality across the UK.

Cardiff Council is embracing the EV revolution and putting drivers at its heart by installing some of the most user-friendly rapid charging points available today.
