Funds available for local councils to install charging points
06/02/2021
Local councils are being encouraged to apply for a share of £20million funding to help increase the number of on-street electric vehicle chargepoints.
The funding is available under the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) . It will cover 75% of the capital costs of procuring and installing chargepoints and an associated dedicated parking bay if required.
The Government says the £20million could deliver up to 4,000 more chargepoints, which is twice the number pfresently available.
