Rhyl multi electric vehicle charging hub goes live – News from Wales

A Rhyl based multi electric vehicle charging hub is now live for drivers to use. The West Kinmel car park site, the largest charging hub in Wales, can now be used by owners of electric vehicles. The opening of the 36 vehicle capacity hub, funded by the Welsh Government, follows the successful installation of chargers at Kings Avenue car park at Prestatyn in the summer. Rhyl’s new hub is a mix of ‘fast’ 7kwh chargers for local users who have no access to off street parking and ‘rapid’ 50kw chargers for a quick charge top up and also to help local taxi drivers on the uptake of electric vehicles by minimising disruption to operational work time. All the chargers at the hub are open for public use. Three of the parking bays and charging units are specifically allocated for disabled users. The charging units also offer a range of bilingual payment options including, contactless card, App driven and RFID Card. Daytime and peak time users will still pay for a parking space at the hub however the electric vehicle bays will have no parking charges levied between 17:00 and 08:00 as per the rest of the car park.
