As one of the largest EV infrastructure projects in Devon, our mission is simple yet impactful: make sustainable travel accessible for everyone. In partnership with Devon County Council, Wenea is enhancing EV charging options, especially for drivers who rely on on-street parking. We’re proud to provide more than 100 charge points across Exeter and surrounding areas, creating a county-wide charging network for all EV users.
Expanding Charging Accessibility Across Exeter and Beyond
When we began this project, Exeter’s EV infrastructure was mostly limited to standard AC chargers, with only a few rapid charging stations available in East Devon. To create a network that genuinely supports EV drivers, we’re not only increasing the number of charge points but are strategically expanding beyond Exeter into surrounding areas throughout Devon.
Our mission is to make EV ownership practical and convenient across the region, enhancing the drivability of Devon for all electric vehicle users.
Why Devon?
Devon County Council identified a pressing need to improve the region’s EV charging infrastructure, particularly as public chargers were often occupied and access was limited in rural areas compared to urban centers. In a 2020 survey, 92% of Devon’s EV users reported encountering out-of-order public chargers, highlighting the barriers faced by residents interested in transitioning to electric vehicles. Recognising this gap, Wenea took on the initiative to enhance EV infrastructure across Devon, aiming to support the county’s transition to cleaner transport options and ensure a more reliable and accessible charging network for all residents.
“This project has been about more than just installing chargepoints, it’s about building confidence in EV adoption across every corner of Devon. By working closely with Devon County Council, we’ve ensured that urban and rural communities have access reliable charging infrastructure.”
