EV Charger Install: Why CMT Group are the right team for your project


Sustainable vehicles are the future. In recent years there has been a significant upward trend in the number of people swapping out their fuel-run vehicles for electric or hybrid vehicles. To keep up with the times, businesses such as Go Bus, BP and Z Energy have been adapting by installing EV (electric vehicle) chargers all over the country.

CMT Group capabilities mean we can work with EV suppliers Gahan Energy, ECL Group and others to install these chargers across multiple locations.
