Electric Vehicle On Street Charging Points

We Asked

Wirral Council agreed an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Strategy in 2024 which amongst other things, set a target to provide 1,580 new, either standard or fast EV charge points 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 invited residents to suggest on street locations where they think Electric Vehicle Charging is needed the most. 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.
