A Scottish company specialising in end-to-end electric charging solutions has secured a deal with a local authority that could be a model for a nationwide roll-out.
FOR EV’s pioneering project for North Lanarkshire Council is the first in Scotland to leverage private sector capital for fleet charging infrastructure without any upfront capital cost to the council.
The Bellshill site will feature six charging bays and can support other public sector fleets with access to rapid charging.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with North Lanarkshire Council on this transformative project,” said Lindsay Yeoman, Head of Sales at FOR EV.
“This project sets a precedent for how local authorities can embrace electrification, and we believe it will serve as a blueprint for similar initiatives across the UK.”
John McElhinney, fleet business manager at North Lanarkshire Council, said: “Across our fleet, we are moving to electric vehicles and installing more charging points to support the transition to electric vehicles. The new facility at our Bellshill depot, delivered by FOR EV, is a significant and innovative development in the council’s strategy to achieve net zero.”
FOR EV is supported by funding from The Scottish National Investment Bank.
