Six charging stations are to be installed at the Royal Naval Dockyard so that Twizy drivers can get a free electric top-up.

The West End Development Corporation is also in talks with other electric car operators to see if more charging stations can be installed in the area.

Joanna Cranfield, business development manager at Wedco, said: “One of the issues we have found is that different makes of electric cars have different types of chargers.

“I know there are different electric vehicles in Bermuda and we want to find out what they need to see if it is possible to set up charging stations for them as well.”

She said Wedco wants to be environmentally conscious and help locals and tourists take advantage of new transport options.

She said: “I think it’s great to see these types of vehicles on the roads and it is our duty to try and support the people who want to use them.”

Meanwhile, a pilot recycling programme, which started last year on a six-month trial at Dockyard, is doing “very well and is an extremely popular addition”, according to Ms Cranfield.

She said: “Wedco had teamed up with the Department of Public Works to enable the recycling and we are both monitoring is as we progress but are pleased with all the results to date.

“We are very happy that we are able to partner on this scheme and with the charging stations we are making good strides to be as environmentally friendly as we can.”
