at its engineering facility in Gaydon, UK, for use by em-
ployees. The automaker claims the charging installation
is the largest of its kind in the UK. It also plans to install
charging stations in the visitor parking lot.
The 7 kW AC charging stations were supplied by
NewMotion, and are cloud-connected to the NewMo-
tion public network. Employees can monitor their EVs’
charging progress with a smartphone app.
“Our data shows when EV drivers are charging their
car, 40 percent of the time this happens at work,” said
NewMotion CEO Sytse Zuidema.
“Every new Jaguar and Land Rover model line will be
electrified from 2020,” said Jaguar Land Rover’s Mick
Cameron. “We hope that by providing a network of elec-
tric charging points to staff and visitors at our Gaydon
engineering centre we can help encourage the uptake of
alternative fuels amongst our employees.”Sacramento County, California will award up to $15.5
million for businesses and nonprofits to install commer-
cial-grade Level 2 chargers and high-powered DC fast
chargers. The Sacramento County Incentive Project is led
by the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project
(CALeVIP).
CALeVIP is accepting applications for DC fast charger
installation rebates of up to $70,000 per charger, or 75
percent of the cost of installation, and Level 2 charger
rebates of up to $6,000 per connector. Rebates of up to
$80,000 for DC fast chargers and up to $6,500 for Level 2
chargers have been set aside for disadvantaged commu-
nities.
Sacramento County has nearly 700 public chargers and
more than 10,000 EVs, according to Sacramento Mu-
nicipal Utility District officials. California aims to have
250,000 chargers and 5 million EVs on its roads by 2030.Jaguar Land Rover installs 166
