North East Lincolnshire Council is set to invest nearly £1.5 million in expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure, aiming to install between 300 and 600 new charge points across the region.
The project will focus on locations with limited or no access to off-street parking, using a mix of lamp-post chargers, standalone pedestals, and units in public car parks. The initiative is backed by funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), part of the UK Government’s broader strategy to support the transition to electric transport.
The rollout signals growing demand for public-private collaboration on electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, especially in areas underserved by traditional charging options. It also aligns with regional net-zero ambitions and could present future opportunities for contractors, technology providers, and maintenance services involved in clean transport solutions.
