Nottinghamshire Gets £5.5m for Public EV Chargepoints
Nottinghamshire has been awarded £5.5m from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund to install public chargepoints in areas lacking off-street parking. The project, part of the LEVI scheme funded by the Department for Transport, aims to boost electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the region.
Nottinghamshire County Council will oversee a 10-week tender process to appoint two separate suppliers, one for standard chargepoints and another for rapid chargepoints. The project, set to commence in spring 2026, is a collaboration between Nottinghamshire County Council and a consortium comprising Nottingham City Council, Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, and Staffordshire County Council, with a total funding of £17m. The consortium has been working with Midlands Connect, the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, and the Energy Saving Trust to ensure the project's success.
The LEVI-funded project in Nottinghamshire is a significant step towards improving EV charging infrastructure, particularly in areas without off-street parking. With the tender process underway and installations projected to begin in spring 2026, the region is poised to see an increase in public chargepoints, supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles.
