Our clubs offer a new form of accessible and affordable transport that is good for the environment, and brings communities together.”
— Tom Simone, Lead Community Officer TrydaNi
Are you ready to recharge the way you travel?
TrydaNi offers a modern, green, and exceptionally convenient way to travel without polluting the environment or emptying your wallet. As one of Wales’ most exciting initiatives, with partnerships across Europe, TrydaNi provides electric car services for communities throughout Wales — including our own communities in Gwynedd! This is your opportunity to join a greener, cheaper, and more comfortable way of travelling.
As part of the Ogwen Valley Climate Action Plan, one of GwyrddNi’s important actions was to secure green transport within communities, encouraging less use of private cars and creating opportunities to use community vehicles. Working together with TrydaNi enables us to put this action into practice and provide public and active transport that is easy to use while reducing carbon emissions. Joining TrydaNi is a great opportunity to continue developing GwyrddNi’s local initiatives and an excellent way to help ensure a clean and sustainable future in your communities.
As a small team of passionate workers, TrydaNi continues to grow across Wales, and the number of people joining is increasing significantly. Will you join your local hubs?
Local Hubs
Bethesda
“The Bethesda car club now has 85 members. In April, a total of 5,110 km was driven using the two cars.”
There are 2 comfortable electric cars available to residents of the Bethesda area. The cars are powered at Bethesda Community Library and are available to everyone — you don’t need to have driven an electric car before!
Penygroes
The first electric car in Penygroes is on the way! The car will be powered at Yr Orsaf in the centre of Penygroes, so everyone will have access to it.
We are encouraging local members to join now!
A launch night for the car will be held soon, so keep an eye out for the date and come along to see it.
Innovative initiative across Wales
TrydaNi enables thousands of people across Wales to travel in an accessible and green way, and recently they reached a milestone in Aberystwyth of over 100 active users.
“It’s an amazing service that I use when I’m working away – I claim mileage back from work as if it were my own car! We’ve gone from having two cars last year to just one family car now, using the community electric car when needed. It has also reduced stress for me and saved money!”
– Al Cowlishaw.
Excellent service and unwavering support
Are you nervous about driving an electric car for the first time? Don’t be! The TrydaNi team is here to put your mind at ease.
The TrydaNi service offers friendly, attentive familiarisation sessions for members who are new to driving electric cars — you’ll be confident driving an electric vehicle in no time!
TrydaNi also has a support helpline available to assist drivers across Wales, whether there’s a technical issue or you just want some peace of mind. TrydaNi doesn’t just care for the community — it cares for people too.
Easy, Effective and Manageable
The voice of TrydaNi users
Megan Meeke – Bethesda
“I have no trouble getting wherever I need to go. For example, I’m currently supporting someone in Dolgellau, which is about 50 miles away. I can go there and back, drop off the car, and there’s still 50% charge left in it!”
Hannah Mefin – Bethesda
“There are many personal benefits to driving an electric car. Not only is it great for the environment, but it’s also nice to drive a car without having to think about maintenance. It feels so good to drive a clean and comfortable car. I’ve been able to get rid of my second car and save money by using this community car instead.”
