EVC have 100% renewable energy in their network and has the lowest sustainable, low-cost tariff in the industry.

One of the Leaders of the Council, Cllr John Wells, said, "I am delighted that there will soon be multiple charging bays in the City Council owned car parks which supports our commitment to making Salisbury greener.

"We hope that this will encourage more people to travel electric in our City to help reduce harmful vehicle emissions and improve air quality.”
