A business park in Basingstoke is supporting car drivers’ move to electric vehicles by installing rapid chargers.

Chineham Park has contracted Instavolt, which is based at the park, for two units, due to go live this autumn. The chargers will be available to use on a pay-as-you-go basis using contactless debit or credit cards, with no subscription or membership required.

Wendy Scott, customer manager at Chineham Park, said: “We’re always looking for ways to minimise our impact on the environment and encouraging use of electric vehicles will play a big part of that going forward.”
