Electric car chargers

Investment and strategy for EV charging points

Investment

We have been awarded £2.89 million through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) initiative to expand the network of electric vehicle charge points across our area. This will target homes without access of off-road parking.

We will be procuring a supplier to build, manage and maintain the network soon.

Strategy

Our strategy demonstrates our commitment to meeting local charging needs at scale and ahead of demand, for a seamless transition to electric vehicles (EVs) for all residents.

By building a publicly accessible network of on-street EV charging points, we aim to facilitate the uptake of EVs and achieve our broader Net Zero targets.

The strategy addresses the need for convenient charging solutions - particularly for residents without driveways. It also supports the transition of other transport forms to zero emissions including:

• buses
• private hire vehicles
• business fleets
