Siemens has provided a new fast charging point for environmentally-friendly private hire car service Climatecars in central London.

The Siemens CP500A fast charging point, which provides fast charging facilities for two electric vehicles at the same time, has been installed to charge a number of new 100% electric saloon cars which have recently been added to Climatecars’ low-carbon hybrid fleet.

Nicko Williamson, managing director of Climatecars, said: “We are very excited about the introduction of zero emission electric vehicles to Climatecars' fleet and in Siemens we have the ideal supplier of infrastructure support and service.”

Mark Bonnor-Moris, Siemens head of Electromobillity UK and Ireland, said the Siemens charging stations can fully charge vehicles in just one hour ensuring maximum vehicle availability.

Siemens also provides a full supply, installation and maintenance service.
