A developer is \u201cplugging in\u201d to the surging demand for electric vehicles (EVs) by creating the most inclusive charging provision of any development built to date in Scotland<\/h2>\n

All 84 apartments at The Crescent at Donaldson\u2019s, by CALA Homes (East)<\/a>, will be served by an EV fast charger, with the EV infrastructure built into the underground parking.<\/p>\n

David Pickles, managing director with Jorro, said: \u201cIt is brilliant for a developer to have the foresight to include this level of EV provision in its plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many buyers may not yet have EVs or plug-in hybrids, it is inevitable that a majority will do in the not-too-distant future, as range increases and costs fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great thing about The Crescent is that the chargers are there, in place and ready to go. All buyers need to do is add the relevant plug unit, due to different car brands choosing varying solutions. Any costs therefore will be negligible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a nod to the forward-thinking and energy-conscious designs of The Crescent, electric car<\/a> manufacturer Tesla drove two of its vehicles into the grounds last month to test the facilities.<\/p>\n

Owners at The Crescent will have access to an EO Genius charging unit, fully connected to the mains, with a dummy unit in place until the final set up is made. It is the first time an apartment development of this scale in Scotland has featured a comprehensive EV infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The underground parking at the development is a result of a desire to minimise the impact of cars on the famed setting.<\/p>\n

Philip Hogg, sales and marketing director for CALA Homes (East), said: \u201cThe entire project is centred on providing buyers with something truly aspirational, yet at the same time, entirely practical.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis extends to the underground parking \u2013 which is extensive with a purpose of minimising any vehicle visibility, creating a secluded retreat in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is highly likely that the vast majority of our owners and future owners at The Crescent will be requiring EV charging within the next few years \u2013 so we\u2019re delighted to be able to offer them such comprehensive provision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also greatly reduces the barriers to entry that prevent many people taking up ownership of these much more environmentally-friendly cars<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed by Richard Murphy OBE, the architecture of The Crescent has been directly influenced by Edinburgh\u2019s famous Georgian crescents.<\/p>\n
