In collaboration with Midlands Connect and other local councils, we have successfully secured ?1.7 million from the Government?s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund.

This funding will help the council to install more electric vehicle (EV) charge points in neighbourhoods, closer to people?s homes to support residents with no off-street parking to charge their vehicles.

We?ve launched a survey for both current and future EV drivers to hear your views on where new electric vehicle charging points should be located and to understand how you currently use charging infrastructure. The survey closes on Monday 8 April.
