Twelve new electric vehicle (EV) charging points are going to be installed at Penryn Campus.
The points, which will be in Car Park A, are in response to a growing demand as more people choose to buy electric vehicles meaning the two chargers currently installed don’t provide sufficient charging capacity.
They will be run by supplier Pod Point, a company which offers an app to make use and payment easier.
David Lawrence, Falmouth Exeter Plus Energy Manager, said: “This project will help to make our campuses more sustainable while also offering greater choice to users. While we try to encourage walking, cycling, or using public transport, we recognise that this is not always practical in Cornwall. These EV points will therefore support owners of more sustainable vehicles.”
The charging points will be installed in April and should be ready for use by the end of that month.
Further information on how to use the new electric vehicles charging points and location will be provided ready for use after upon completion of the installation.
