SCOPE OF WORK

At Gravells KIA Kidwelly, our project entailed the installation of 10 x Twin Project EV twin 22kW charging sockets. Recognising the surge in electric car sales, Kia sought to provide customers with convenient charging facilities and ensure serviced cars were returned with fully charged batteries. EV-Wales undertook the project to meet these specific requirements.

CHALLENGES

As one of Wales's busiest car dealerships, ensuring minimal disruption for staff and customers was paramount. EV-Wales meticulously scheduled all works to be conducted out of hours and late on weekends to minimize inconvenience. Extensive groundworks were necessary, expertly managed by EV-Wales through trusted groundwork partners, to accomplish the project seamlessly.

IMPACT

The project's successful execution has ensured that serviced cars are returned to customers with full batteries, meeting Kia's service standards. Looking ahead, plans are already in progress for the next phase to expand the charging infrastructure at the dealership, demonstrating the project's success and the continued commitment to accommodate the growing demand for electric vehicle charging services.
