Wonderful things are happening in Lancashire for us, we are attributing much of the AmpEV’s recent success to the East Lancs Chamber and RedCAT – they will be the driver taking AMP EV ‘up to the next level’ – The recent marketing and scaling support from both RedCAT and Boost has been invaluable and a pivotal moment in AmpEV’s journey.
