Wrexham Council Partners with Rolec and Costelloes to Expand EV Infrastructure NEWS EV Charging Wrexham Council Partners with Rolec and Costelloes to Expand EV Infrastructure 6 January 2026 at 12:50:07 One of Europe’s leading electric vehicle chargepoint manufacturers, Rolec, has entered into a strategic partnership with Costelloes EV Group, combining their offering to provide comprehensive hardware solutions paired with accessible installation options for Wrexham Council’s rollout of EV infrastructure. This announcement comes on the heels of the newly introduced Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy in Wales, which aims to facilitate increased electric vehicle ownership through installation of public charging infrastructure. As such, the project has secured close to £800,000 of government funding from the Welsh Government’s Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle Transformation. Over the next 12 months, the council is set to install over 45 chargepoints plus 2 EVCP mobility hubs, consisting of Rolec EV hardware, installed by the Costelloes EV Group. This project will allow the council to increase confidence in the availability of charging infrastructure to meet their joint aim of encouraging Wrexham constituents to make the transition to EV ownership. Speaking on the project, Andy Beresford, Business Development Manager for Major Projects at Rolec EV, said: "We are beyond excited to be collaborating with Costelloes EV Group and Wrexham Council on this initiative that is set to enhance public access to EV infrastructure and advance the future decarbonisation of transportation across the borough. It became clear through engaging in discussions with the team at Costelloes EV that Rolec’s hardware and over three decades of industry experience would make us the ideal partner for this initiative. Where we will be showcasing our hardware, software, and support capabilities for Wrexham County constituents." David Costelloe, Managing Director of Costelloes EV Group, added: "We’re thrilled to be appointed to deliver Wrexham County Borough Council’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure, alongside Rolec, installing and operating a full range of EVCPs, as a first step in our partnership to deliver decarbonisation solutions across the county. With over 30 years of experience in the electrical industry, our team is dedicated to staying at the forefront of new developments and technologies. We take pride in providing exceptional service and support to our customers, ensuring that their needs are met with the highest level of professionalism and expertise." Cllr David A Bithell, Deputy Leader and Climate Champion for Wrexham Council, had this to say: "We’re delighted to sign the innovative partnership with Costelloes EV Group, to help us expand and improve upon our network of EVCPs. We want to support our residents to move towards using electric vehicles by providing them with more high-quality, well-maintained charge points across Wrexham, and securing an agreement with an industry specialist will help us to deliver that."

CASE STUDY Roydon Marina Village Embarks on Sitewide Amenity Upgrades ROYDON MARINA VILLAGE One of the most idyllic Marina’s in the UK, Roydon Marina Village combines the allure of the big city with the quiet peace of the countryside. Only half an hour from Central London, this restful retreat is situated beside a 32-acre lake in the midst of an award-winning green space, full of local wildlife and teeming with cosy restaurants and cafes. SCOPE Lakeland Leisure Estates was founded in the same year as Rolec and we’ve worked closely together on a number of products across the last three decades. As long-time partners, Lakeland Leisure Estates, reached out to the team to provide a reliable and robust network of service pedestals for Roydon Marina Village, in Essex. In keeping with the tranquil vibe of the site, the team wanted a solution that wouldn’t stand out against the natural beauty of Lee Valley Regional Park. Likewise, they also wanted to continue to create an atmosphere of relaxation by reducing delays or confusion from their existing berth management software, whilst still maintaining full visibility for site management. Which made implementing user-friendly software a top priority. SOLUTION To meet their needs for a cohesive and unobtrusive aesthetic sitewide, we provided Roydon Marina Village with bespoke Quantum service pedestals, fully equipped with ambient LED lighting. To provide robust electrical services to guests, without imposing on its natural beauty. Pairing the hardware with Rolec’s SmartCard meters provides an ideal solution for controlling and managing berth electricity supplies. BENEFIT This project really captures the energetic fusion between all parties involved and thanks to Rolec’s hardware we have delivered an ideal solution for this luxury award winning green space marina. Speaking on the project, Mark Morgan, Managing Director for Lakeland Leisure Estates said: "Lakeland Leisure Estates have worked with Rolec as trusted suppliers for over 30 years. With exceptional quality products backed up by efficient service, there was no doubt about using Rolec to supply and install the bollards for our 168 new moorings at Roydon Marina Village. With these moorings in high demand, it was imperative that the install was carried out in a timely manner. Working with Rolec has again been an effective process, as we’ve now come to expect, with clear communication from Steve and the team throughout. We chose Rolec because of their history in the marina world. Having bollards, EV chargers and equipment that lasts. They’re renowned for their quality overall, they’re the leading market brand in bollards when we talk to marina clients about what product they would like to choose for the longevity of their projects. Working with Rolec has been great, the engineers on site have been friendly and helpful, professional. They have installed a high-quality product that keeps both of us happy and our clients happy.” PREVIOUS NEXT Roydon Marina Village

CASE STUDY Bristol Harbour Undergoes Sitewide Electrical Upgrade BRISTOL HARBOUR Bristol Harbour is a 70-80 acre body of water stretching through the city centre. After being transformed into a ‘floating harbour’ in 1700s, it has since become the city’s cultural hub. Surrounded by cafes, restaurants and historical attractions, it welcomes visitors throughout the year and has become home to many residents who have moored along its 7-mile length. SCOPE As part of a site-wide upgrade, the team at Bristol Harbour reached out to Rolec as a trusted Marina Services partner to replace their water and electricity supplies with up-to-date technology reflective of the harbour’s ever evolving demands. All these upgrades needed to be implemented in a timely and efficient manner to ensure a seamless transition for visitors and residents. As well as providing an easy-to-use smart metering system, delivering accurate and reliable usage data and billing for both customers and the operational team. This gives visitors full transparency over electricity and water consumption, as well as helping to reduce overall energy costs. SOLUTION Rolec facilitated a comprehensive renewal of Bristol Harbour’s service hardware, across eight sites. Installing a total of 177 joint electrical and water hookups, including: •  Marina North, 19 Dual Socketed Classic Pedestals •  Marina Central 1 16amp Classic Pedestal •  Marina Hanover 5 Dual Socketed Classic Pedestals •  Marina Grove 42 Dual Socketed Classic Pedestals •  Marina Bathurst 11 4-Way Socketed Classic Pedestals •  Marina Inlet 8 Classic Lighting Pedestals •  Capricorn Quay 2 Classic Pedestals •  Arnolfini 2 Classic Pedestals and 1 Waste Pump Out Pedestal The entire network of service pedestals is equipped with sophisticated Metpow software, providing operators with full visibility over energy usage and accurate MID-approved metering for customers — delivering a cost-effective solution for all service users. Collaborating with the Bristol Harbour and Metpow teams proved highly effective, combining the client’s clear vision with Rolec’s commitment to guiding the project from start to finish, enabling a seamless upgrade across all sites. BENEFIT The end-to-end solution provided by Rolec ensures that Bristol Harbour continues to provide customers with the latest and most accurate services in line with their reputation as a world class destination. Combined electrical and water hook-ups make accessing facilities simple, supported by the Metpow software platform, which enhances transparency and control over usage. Additional access lighting ensures full visibility across all eight waterfront sites. PREVIOUS NEXT Bristol Harbour

CASE STUDY Wattif Provides Funded Rolec EV Chargepoint Solutions to Mullingar Golf Club MULLINGAR GOLF CLUB Mullingar Golf Club is located at Belvedere, Ireland, 5km south of the town centre and just off the main N52 (Nenagh – Dundalk) route, 80km west of Dublin along the M4/N4. The course layout is the work of famous Scottish golf course designer and 5 times Open Champion James Braid (1870 – 1950). Although some changes have been made since its creation in 1935, Mullingar is essentially as its designer intended, a championship challenge set in a mature wooded parkland that was once part of the Belvedere Estate. The course runs to 6,685 yards with a classic par 72 balance of 10 par 4s, 4 par 5s and 4 par 3s. Its routing is player friendly, returning to the club house at 3, and 9. All four par 3s are feature holes, but the 209 yard second is the signature hole, with its elevated tee and green it is considered one of the best par 3s in Irish golf. SCOPE The Golf Club is situated lakeside in Mullingar, Westmeath and offers golfers and visitors a World Class golf venue. With the increase in electric vehicles adoption, and members and visitors wanting EV charging whilst playing golf or using the Club’s facilities, the Club looked to install EV chargers to meet the growing request and demand for EV charging. With a car park capable of accommodating 150+ vehicles, The Club reached out to Wattif EV to provide initial charging of 4 car park bays with a build out programme to match EV charging demand over a multi-year period. The current site’s electrical capacity required a solution that offered charging load management, and local lighting at the charger location was of high importance to the client for a safe charging experience. SOLUTION A joint venture for a multi-year managed services EV charging infrastructure comprising design, installation, commissioning, service and maintenance was agreed, with 24/7 user helpline and load management services. Wattif EV would manage the tariff and pricing, as well as user registration, for both mobile App and RFID transactions. Wattif EV would manage the life cycle of the assets from design to future build out. The Rolec EV Quantum 22kW dual pedestals were selected for quality, performance, and aesthetics. The installation with civils took two weeks from initial site access to commissioning and staff/public charging, with civil and electrical installation performed by Ascent Energy Services. The installation took place whilst the Club remained open to members and guests, with civils and electrical connections being made whilst the Club operated, and with barriers/access managed around the operating Club’s needs. BENEFIT Wattif EV provided the Club with access to 4 Rolec EV charging sockets, and a services programme to operate, manage and maintain these chargers with a further roll-out programme to meet the increasing demand of EV charging. The back-end solution provides load management as well as demand reporting and operation features including tariff and user management, and the 24/7 support for users – allowing Mullingar Golf Club to concentrate and do what they do best – providing a World Class golfing experience and to all their members and visitors.
