For the past 7 months a number of Ubitricity electric vehicle charge points across the borough have had issues affecting them which have resulted in them being switched off.  To address these issues, we are relocating the charge points to other lamp columns where they can operate safely.  Where possible, we shall aim to relocate the charge points in the same controlled parking zone (CPZ). Relocations should be completed with charge points functional by the end of August.

In areas where relocation in the same CPZ is not possible, and charge points are relocated elsewhere, we are also installing 68 fast charge points (both as part of our business-as-usual plans, and in direct response to the issue with the lamp columns), This will mean electric vehicle owners are still able to charge their vehicles in their local area.  Please note that the installation of 33 of the fast charge points is dependent on the outcome of a statutory consultation process.

This map shows the existing location of the affected lamp column charge points, the relocation sites, and the location of new fast charge points.
