Wireless Charging of Electric Taxis (WiCET) on Trent Street

Construction has begun on Trent Street to trial new wireless charging for electric taxis! Five wireless charging ground pads are being installed in the coming weeks. As part of the trial, taxi drivers will be able to use the wireless charging to top up during the day.

Trent Street remains open. 

Read more about it on our website, here! [ [link removed] ] 

*SuperPedestrian set to roll out e-scooter parking stations in Nottingham*

Scooter racks

Ten e-scooter docking stations are to be deployed across the city in a bid to further improve parking. Each station is able to hold six e-scooters. SuperPedestrian and the Council have worked alongside each other to evaluate the most suitable locations for the stations, to ensure optimum e-scooter parking habits and safety. The first two have now been installed outside Nottingham Train Station.

Superpedestrian has teamed up with Standab, a Swedish design company that specialises in micromobility infrastructure solutions, to design bespoke parking stations which are set to be introduced to our streets in August. The system was designed in consultation with key disability groups such as the RNIB.

Made from steel and aluminium, the durable design also features extended side panels to accommodate Superpedestrian’s industry leading e-scooters, which feature a longer wheelbase and sturdier construction. 

Councillor Audra Wynter, Portfolio Holder for Transport at Nottingham City Council, said: “Throughout this e-scooter trial we’ve been really keen to listen carefully to feedback from the public about how we can potentially improve things. We really welcome the introduction of these docking stations as they will help to bring more order to e-scooter parking and keep pavements clear for all pedestrians.”
