This route is currently very poorly served with rapid chargers and is nearly impossible in a reasonable time frame in a low range EV.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Mr Hudson, from&nbsp;Bangor,&nbsp;has been driving an electric family car for the last four years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn my experience talking to other EV drivers and people who want an EV,&nbsp;this lack of infrastructure along the A470 is really holding back adoption.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf two out of&nbsp;five&nbsp;new rapid chargers in Cardiff were installed&nbsp;in locations in mid-Wales&nbsp;instead, the problem would be solved.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, rapid EV points can only be placed in high-demand areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Mr Johnston said: \u201cMuch of the private rapid charger investment is being put into high population, high traffic areas because these see the most demand for charging from drivers&nbsp;at the moment&nbsp;and therefore a return for investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the suggestions&nbsp;we\u2019ve made recently, is that proposed government spending on charging infrastructure should be channelled into providing on-route and destination charging for less densely populated areas and more rural routes, such as some places in Wales.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The average price of charging an electric car at home is 14p per kWh compared to 36p per kWh for Engenie&#8217;s rapid chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Other implementation&nbsp;issues&nbsp;also&nbsp;make it more difficult to introduce new rapid chargers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Coun Wild said:&nbsp;\u201cImplementing new charging isn\u2019t straightforward as there are lots of issues to consider, including grid capacity, pavement width, other underground services etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re asking&nbsp;residents&nbsp;to let us know where new chargers could be installed to help inform the next phase.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Jack Cousens, head of road policy for the AA, said: \u201cMore EV points in Cardiff is a positive step. One of the top three barriers to EV ownership is a perception of the lack of charging points. Installing more will help counter this myth.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Find out more about EV charging points across Cardiff <a href=\"https:\/\/keepingcardiffmoving.co.uk\/ev\/\">here<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 new charging points aim to meet Cardiff Council\u2019s commitment to cleaner air\u00a0 TWELVE&nbsp;new rapid&nbsp;Electric Vehicle (EV)&nbsp;charging points have been placed across&nbsp;six&nbsp;areas&nbsp;of&nbsp;Cardiff&nbsp;\u2013 but users argue that there are&nbsp;not&nbsp;enough for commuters&nbsp;outside&nbsp;the city centre.&nbsp; The partnership between&nbsp;Engenie&nbsp;and Cardiff Council comes after the council\u2019s commitment to transport and cleaner air,&nbsp;as stated in their Green Paper.&nbsp;&nbsp; Councillor Caro Wild, cabinet member for strategic planning and transport, said: \u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to see the new chargers up and running.&nbsp; \u201cIt\u2019s part of a larger rollout [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":40710,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[222,92,3],"tags":[454,557,52,729,730,731,732,733,734,735,736],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-40692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cardiff-bay","category-city","category-news","tag-cardiff-bay","tag-cardiff-city-centre","tag-cardiff-council","tag-caro-wild","tag-cleaner-air","tag-commuter-concerns","tag-commuters","tag-electric-vehicle-charging","tag-engenie","tag-rapid-chargers","tag-rapid-ev-charging-points"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
