Charging electric vehicles is set to get even easier thanks to hundreds of millions of funding made available for local authorities, homeowners and renters today (18 March 2024).
The government continues to deliver its £381 million Local Electric Vehicle (LEVI) fund to councils, which can choose where is best to install charge points in their local area.
Cheshire East Council has been awarded £2.17million funding from the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, which supports local authorities in England to plan and deliver charging infrastructure for residents without off-street parking.
The council currently expects to start installing new charging points – in both urban and more rural areas of the borough in 2025. We have already asked that plans for implementing the CEC LEVI funding are brought to the Highways and Transport Committee as soon as possible for appropriate oversight and scrutiny.
