Wrexham County Borough reaches 243 public EV charging points with rural expansion planned for 2026

Wrexham County Borough Council has installed 243 public EV charging points across urban and rural communities, with further investment planned for 2026 to extend infrastructure into more rural areas. The rollout supports the Welsh Government's target of a net zero public sector by 2030 and aims to reduce transport emissions, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Wales. The Council is working with partners to expand the network across town centres, residential areas, visitor destinations and rural communities.

Why it matters: The 243-point milestone demonstrates sustained municipal procurement in a Welsh local authority, with the 2026 rural phase signalling continued tender opportunities for suppliers able to serve lower density areas. Wrexham's alignment with the 2030 net zero public sector target indicates a pipeline of further charging infrastructure contracts across Welsh councils.
