North Lincolnshire Council, in partnership with Believ, will install a minimum of 470 Electric Vehicle (EV) on-street charge points to support local residents who cannot charge their vehicles at home and improve access to EV infrastructure in Northern England.
The project, which is majority funded by Believ and part funded via the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund, will reinforce the county council’s commitment to promoting cleaner, more sustainable transport through enhanced EV infrastructure. As 1 in 4 of households in North Lincolnshire are without off-street parking, the initiative will improve charging accessibility in the region to encourage wider adoption of EVs.
The chargers will be installed in both urban and rural locations, as well as a high volume in residential areas to reflect user demand. A mixture of fast and rapid chargers will be deployed, with 16 rapid and ultra-rapid chargers in key car parks across the county for drivers needing to charge en-route.
Guy Bartlett, Believ CEO, says the business is thrilled to be supporting North Lincolnshire Council in its ambition to make EV ownership as inclusive as possible: “With NLC, we are working with partners who are driven by a desire to support as many local people as possible making the transition to EVs. Our shared goals to help decarbonise transport and deliver cleaner air for all will create a partnership that will benefit the area for many years to come.”
