Pembrokeshire remains number one in Wales and in the top 20 per cent in the UK for the number of battery EV charge points, according to latest official figures.

The Department for Transport data from July 2023 shows that there are currently 172 public EV charge points across Pembrokeshire.

Pembrokeshire County Council has been installing electric car charging points over a number of years, mostly in off-street car parks.  The Council has also been working in collaboration with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to provide EV charging points in National Park parking facilities.

The drive forms part of the council's transition to a low carbon future and also aims to meet the needs of communities by providing charging hubs for residents who do not have off-street parking for the charging of their own vehicles.

Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services said: “It’s great to see Pembrokeshire leading the way and I recognise the tremendous team effort made by officers to achieve this.

“I’m pleased we've been able to make a significant roll-out of EV charging points to contribute toward our aspiration for a net zero transport system, working closely with the Park Authority.”

Pembrokeshire County Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Milford Haven Port's electric vehicle charging network is operated by Dragon Charging Ltd.
