About the Project
The FASTER Project is led by East Border Region Ltd supported by 6 project partners and 15 associate partners.
The FASTER Project is a joint initiative by partners in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland to support the overarching ambition to transition to low carbon transport systems. The project partnership has completed the physical roll out and installation of 75 rapid (50KW capacity) electric vehicle charging stations in the programme area before the target deadline of 31st December 2023.
