Kent County Council are asking residents to nominate locations for public electric vehicle charging points

KCC are working closely with many District, Borough, Town and Parish Councils and have already installed around 200 public charge points, mainly in car parks to offer a more cost effective alternative to the rapid charge point options. However, there is still lots of work to do considering that by 2030, 80% of new cars sold in Great Britain will be zero emission, increasing to 100% in 2035.

What are the next steps?
The great news is that we have now been awarded vital Government funding for Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) to significantly increase the amount of public charge points in Kent.

Over the coming years, we will help to provide thousands of public on-street charge points for residents who don’t have off-street parking, allowing them to plug in locally.
We will be appointing a charge point operator over the coming months who will run and manage the network.

Charge point locations - we need your help!
We are currently identifying potential locations for on-street charging points and welcome your thoughts, especially if you own an EV or are thinking about making the switch.

If your street has already been nominated don't let it put you off as it is useful for us to know where interest is high. We cannot guarantee that every suggested street will be suitable for a charge point, but we will investigate every suggestion made.
