Leading electric vehicle charging technology company, Franklin Energy, has secured a major contract with Cardiff Airport, supplying nine electric vehicle charging points across the vast site.
Estates managers at the airport have appointed Franklin Energy as their EV charging solutions provider and the two businesses have since worked collaboratively during planning and design phase prior to the point of commission during this project.
The initial nine chargers will be located at the main car park meet and greet area and short stay car park as well as around the pay and display area. Work at Staff Car Park & Meet & Greet car park was completed on 20 December 2019 whilst work on the pay and display area will begin in January next year.
