⚡️ Exciting news for electric vehicle owners in Carmarthenshire! A brilliant new trial is paving the way (literally!) for easier home EV charging. 🚗🔌
For those without a driveway, charging your electric car can be a mega hassle, right? Well, not anymore! The Carmarthenshire Council is teaming up with Kerbo Charge to make home charging easier than ever. They’re installing nifty cable gullies that run flush with pavements, keeping those pesky cables out of sight (and feet safe!). 👟
William Britton from Llandovery is already seeing the benefits. Thanks to this trial, he can now charge his Tesla from home at just 7p per kilowatt-hour compared to pricy public chargers. Imagine charging your car with 200 miles of range for just £4.50 overnight! 💸
Gregg and Lauren Francis from Llanelli are thrilled too. These gullies are so discreet you’d barely know they’re there, but they make charging their electric Vauxhall Vivaro van a breeze.
But it’s not just about convenience; there’s a bigger picture here. With petrol and diesel cars on their way out by 2030, making electric vehicle charging accessible and affordable is essential for everyone. 🌍
Ron Cant from Llanelli was initially sceptical, but after using the system to power his VW van, he’s totally converted. The installation is quick and unnoticed by passers-by—a win-win! 🙌
Local authorities are subsidising the installation costs for now, but there’s talk of homeowners footing the bill in the future. While it does cost a bit, remember the annual savings! Kerbo Charge estimates you could save over £1,150 a year compared to public chargers. 💷
The community is buzzing about how this trial could revolutionise EV charging, especially for those in terraced houses. It’s a huge step forward making Carmarthenshire a leader in green tech solutions.
Let’s get excited about the future of travel and think about the role we all play in making our communities greener, more accessible, and downright awesome! 🌟 #ElectricRevolution #GreenerCarmarthenshire #EVcharging
