The no-nonsense
pro-active charity Zero Carbon World (ZCW) is dedicated to undertaking projects
that reduce carbon emissions in the UK today.
To support the
development of a national charging infrastructure and encourage the adoption of
electric vehicles, ZCW are donating 1000 Electric Vehicle (EV) ‘WallPod’ Charging
Stations to businesses around the UK.
Today ZCW
announce the donation of two more WallPods to The Belmore Court & Motel inEnniskillen. Belmore is the first business in Northern Ireland to join Zero
Carbon World.
Each WallPod is
simple, robust and reliable. Supporting both a 13-Amp socket and 32-Amp
connector they enable all EV drivers to recharge overnight or ‘top up’ their
vehicles as required.
“There are no
restrictions to use our network. You don’t need to be a member, subscribe, pay
in advance or use a smart card to access electricity. Wherever EV drivers are,
they can recharge while eating, sleeping, working or simply relaxing “ said
Kevin Sharpe Founder of ZCW and Chair of the Trustees. “We are extremely proud
to be creating the UK’s only Open Charging Station Network”.
Terry McCartney, owner of Belmore and The
High Sherriff of Fermanagh stated: “Installing a WallPod reconfirms our commitment
to reducing pollution as part of our Green Policy and is visible evidence that
we support green travel.” He continued: “We are also opening our business to a
relatively new market of electric vehicle owners giving them the option of an
overnight charge. I am delighted that I am the first in the area to attract EV
drivers to local businesses.”
Growing rapidly
with 66 donations to date, ZCW is on track to install 1000 WallPod’s in the UK
by the end of June 2012.
