On Street Electric Vehicle Charging

Wirral Council agreed an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrasturcture Strategy last year which amongst other things, set a target to provide 1,580 new, either standard or fast EV chargepoints across the borough by 2030.

We want to make sure that we install charging points in the right areas for people to use, such as where residents do not have their own driveway or access to off street car parking.

Wirral Council are inviting residents to suggest on street locations where they think Electric Vehicle Charging is needed the most.

All locations submitted will be subject to site surveys to assess the suitability of the location for Electric Vehicle Charging.

Street lighting columns will predominantly be used for the chargepoints in each location suggested. For those locations that are suitable, a programme of installation works is expected to start in Autumn 2025 and will be subject to separate consultation.

To suggest a location you must provide the address, including the postcode, for the area. This can be submitted by completing the short survey below. Please note that due to the way this project is funded, any information provided will be shared with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) including details of any addresses provided.

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) have been awarded £9.6m of Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) grant funding to deliver charging infrastructure across the city region. The LEVI funding can only be spent on electric vehicle infrastructure to support households without off street car parking. The proposals will not be funded via Wirral Council Tax. There will be a tariff applied for use of the charge points once installed.
