Bannau Brycheiniog embraces emobility with 16 EV charge points
Bannau Brycheiniog National Park has taken a significant step towards a greener future. BMW UK funded the recent installation of 16 EV charge points. This funding is part of its partnership with UK National Parks, known as Recharge in Nature. The aim is not only to improve the infrastructure for EV charging across the UK. It’s also to foster collaborative efforts in nature restoration and community impact projects.
These new charge points are now operational. They are strategically distributed throughout the park. The Visitor Centre in Libanus hosts half of the charge points. The other half are located at Craig-y-Nos Country Park. This placement ensures convenient access for EV drivers. It allows them to recharge while enjoying the natural beauty of the park. This beauty includes stunning mountains, flowing rivers, and diverse wildlife.
