Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium), a manufacturer of direct current (DC) fast chargers for EVs, announced that the company will provide the rapid chargers for Wales’ largest EV charging facility. The facility will be located next tot the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.

With this new charging site, locals, visitors, and National Library of Wales staff will gain access to Wales’ largest hub with 40 charging points – including five rapid Tritium 75kW DC chargers with 10 connectors. This rollout will allow EV drivers to visit the retail site and browse the library while they wait for their EV to complete a charge cycle, which in turn will increase visitors through the library’s doors to support the local institution.

“While the UK Government has now confirmed plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035, the rollout of EV charging infrastructure must continue to accelerate to meet their target to install 300,000 public charging stations by 2030. Wales has a major role to play in this acceleration so that the whole of the UK transport network is electrified, allowing drivers to traverse the country,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “Our latest installation at the National Library of Wales brings much-needed fast chargers to Wales, and Tritium is proud to be part of a solution that is encouraging both sustainable travel and opportunity charging at this national landmark in Aberystwyth.”

The National Library of Wales will be the charge point operator (CPO) of the site.
