With this new charging site, locals, visitors, and National Library of Wales staff in Aberystwyth will gain access to Wales’ largest EV charging site, thanks to a new hub with 40 charging points, including five rapid Tritium 75kW DC chargers with 10 connectors, at the National Library of Wales.

The charging hub will benefit local EV owners, including customers of nearby towns and villages, as well as attract tourists who are either visiting or passing through Aberystwyth. This rollout will allow EV drivers to visit the retail site and browse the library while they wait for their electric vehicle to complete a charge cycle, which in turn will increase visitors through the library’s doors to support the local institution.

The National Library of Wales will be the charge point operator (CPO) of the site and will therefore manage day-to-day operations for each of the new chargers.
