- Ceredigion County Council Offices, Penmorfa, Aberaeron, SA46 0PA

A spokesperson for Ceredifion County Council said: “Most of the charge-points installed by the Council are ‘Fast’ charge-points that use a Type 2 charging cable and take 3 to 4 hours to charge depending on the type and number of vehicles plugged in. ‘Rapid’ charge-points are also being installed in some car parks including the public car parks at Cwmins, Lampeter and Greenfield Square, Cardigan.
Information on how to use these charge-points is available on the Dragon Charging Network website, via the Dragon Charging App and at the charge-points themselves.”
Councillor Keith Henson, Cabinet Member for Highways and Environmental Services and Carbon Management has welcomed the roll-out of public EV charging. He said: “This is a good step forward in helping reduce our carbon emissions, and ensuring our county continues to develop to support our businesses, residents and appeal to visitors. In support of the Council’s corporate Net Zero Carbon targets associated with transport and travel. I’m delighted that we have been successful in applying for further Welsh Government and UK Government funding to enable us to set up additional locations across the county.”
