Car Leasing
The future of EV charging has arrived in Norwich
Forget what you know about filling stations because the Norwich Electric Forecourt® has just re-written the rule book for the electric era.
Our aim is to make charging an electric vehicle the most awesome, enjoyable, ultra-convenient and stress-free experience it can possibly be. And from day one, we’re providing the fastest chargers and delivering sustainable, net zero carbon energy at a cost that is far lower than filling a car with petrol or diesel.
