Amey has launched its first public EV chargers in the UK with an official opening in partnership with Trafford Council.

Hale, Stretford and Sale are among the first locations with chargers now live, and more sites will follow in the coming months.

The initiative will deliver up to 100 public EV charging points across Trafford – and Amey will also roll out charging infrastructure in other locations across the UK.

To make charging even easier, the company has also launched the Amey EV Charging App. Available for both Android and Apple devices, the app allows users to locate chargers, check real-time availability, and make secure payments.

The milestone opening in Trafford follows the project’s initial announcement in September 2025 and marks a major step forward in expanding sustainable transport across the borough.

The new network is supported by the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements and provides affordable and accessible charging solutions for residents and visitors, supporting households without off-street parking.

All chargers are powered entirely by zero-carbon energy, reinforcing Amey’s commitment to decarbonisation.

Councillor Aidan Williams, executive member for climate change at Trafford Council, said: “The arrival of these chargers is a big step forward for greener travel in Trafford. We are committed to our carbon neutral targets and providing practical solutions to help our residents make sustainable choices. Working with Amey, we are proud to be at the forefront of positive change in our borough.”

Anna Gornall, EVCI account director at Amey, said: “We are thrilled to see Trafford’s first public EV chargers now in use. This project is about making sustainable transport accessible for everyone, and seeing residents already benefit is incredibly rewarding. From planning to installation, this has been a collaborative effort from all involved.”
