Electric car company FleetEV hosts pop-up Senedd event
FleetEV hosted a pop-up event outside the Senedd in Cardiff Bay to showcase its electric vehicle and smart charging solutions to key stakeholders, including politicians and partners.
The company highlighted its delivery of more than 400 EVs to the Welsh public sector over the past year, a move that it states has saved the sector more than £1.2 million through the Welsh Government Commercial Delivery framework.
Jarrad Morris, CEO and founder of FleetEV and sister company PLUG Charging, said: 'We're proud to be leading the way in making electric vehicles more accessible and helping to drive the shift towards a more sustainable future.
"Events like this give us the opportunity to engage directly with both the public and policymakers, ensuring the importance of EV adoption and the necessary infrastructure continues to be at the forefront of discussions.
"We're excited about the future and the role FleetEV and PLUG Charging can play in supporting the transition to cleaner, greener driving across Wales.'
PLUG Charging, which was recently placed on the Welsh Government's EV Charging Infrastructure Framework, also demonstrated its lamp column charger at the event.
The company will now deliver EV installations across Wales, including lamp column chargers, roof solar panels and solar car ports.
Cardiff Dragons netball players Elle McDonald and Jacqui Newton joined the event to host a goal-scoring challenge and prize giveaway.
Also in attendance was 2B Enterprising, which runs The Bumbles of Honeywood enterprise programme for primary schools.
FleetEV currently supports workshops in 20 schools across Wales through this programme.
The event was attended by deputy Plaid Cymru leader Delyth Jewell, Plaid Cymru's Llyr Gruffydd and Peredur Owen Griffiths, and Cardiff Council's cabinet member for climate change, Daniel De'Ath.
FleetEV specialises in helping organisations across the public and private sectors transition to electric vehicles through leasing options, salary sacrifice schemes and tailored fleet solutions.
