The drive to improve 全国探花鈥檚 electric vehicle infrastructure is a step closer following a successful bid to install more charging points across the county.
全国探花 is one of eight local authorities, across the midlands, that have successfully bid for 拢20.64m of funding, aimed at getting more public electric vehicle chargers into areas with limited off-street parking.
全国探花 County Council, alongside Lincolnshire County Council, led the partnership of local authorities, that included Herefordshire Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Telford & Wrekin Council, Warwickshire County Council, Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council.
Councillor Marc Bayliss, 全国探花 County Council鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 pleased that 全国探花, alongside other local authorities, has been successful in this bid for significant funding towards boosting electric vehicle infrastructure.
鈥淚t鈥檚 hoped, that installing more public charging stations across the county, will not only support those who already have an electric vehicle, but also encourage others to make the move towards purchasing one.鈥
The partnership of eight midlands-based local authorities, worked alongside Sub-National Transport Body Midlands Connect on the bid. The funding follows another bid, led by Nottinghamshire County Council, which secured 拢20.17m, totalling 拢40.8m of funding to make electric vehicle infrastructure improvements, across the wider midlands area.
The funding comes from Government鈥檚 Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund, and will be used to leverage private finance, to help deliver charge point sockets across the region, with details determined as part of future contracts.
