DERBY, U.K. - Sept. 19, 2023 - PRLog -- A Derby sport and leisure venue has reinforced its commitment to sustainability by investing £20,000 in four new electric vehicle charging stations.

Derby Leisure and Events Venue on Moor Lane in the city has installed four ChargePoint EV Charge Stations, which are conveniently located in the venue's car park and can be used by guests or members of the public and will be available 24 hours a day.

The installation of the charging points forms part of the company's environmental policy and underlines its commitment to decreasing its carbon footprint and becoming more environmentally focused.
