Electric Vehicle Charging Points
We will install suitable charging points in our local area to enable take up of EVs by more residents.
- Charging points for more than one user (i.e. not linked to a single property) can either be placed on-street or installed in public car parks and may help greatly to reduce emissions by allowing far more people to move to EVs, if green electricity is used to charge them
- The UK Government has a funding scheme in place to support local authorities installing on-street residential charge points
- Some local councils such as Disley Parish Council have already installed charging points in a community centre car park
- A step-by-step guide to all the factors for a parish council to consider is currently under development
