Buckinghamshire Council has received just over £70,000 in funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) to support the installation of new on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging points in Wendover.
The money will be used as match-funding for the council's existing £110,000 investment in their Wendover EV pilot scheme, which aims to promote the use of EVs in the area.
The EV pilot scheme will include the installation of approximately 10 on-street lamppost/bollard-style charging points, and around 10 in-pavement cable channels. Both options will offer slow charging suitable for overnight charging of EVs.
As well as providing EV drivers in Wendover with access to on-street charging, the scheme will also reduce the town’s carbon emissions and help improve the air quality.
