More than 200 public sector organisations are able to access this framework, to help establish a structured, efficient approach to charging infrastructure deployment across Wales. As of now, electric vehicle charging in Wales has often relied on limited, piecemeal initiatives from individual authorities, creating gaps in both coverage and consistency. This framework aims to address these gaps.
