You can now choose from 112 charging points across Ceredigion to charge your electric vehicle (EV). 76 of these are provided by Ceredigion County Council in 18 different locations, including Council car parks. Following the successful delivery of two phases of EV infrastructure installations in Ceredigion County Council car parks, the county now has the highest number of EV charging points per 100,000 population for the public to use across the whole of Wales. According to Welsh Government figures published in July 2023, Ceredigion has 158.5 chargers per 100,000 population when compared against the Welsh average of 60.7.
