Over two years, manufacturer Compleo UK will install a range of AC, DC and high speed chargers to meet the diverse needs of the council’s EV fleet, which ranges from electric cars to coaches and tipper trucks.

Most of the new chargers will be installed at the council’s waste and recycling centre at Cottage Road, Islington, which serves as a hub for its operational vehicles.

The council’s executive member for environment, air quality and transport, Rowena Champion, said: ‘By electrifying our fleet, we are leading by example and showing that sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand.

‘Compleo’s expertise and innovative charging solutions will help make sure our services run in the most environmentally friendly way possible.’
