With our help, councils can drive electric vehicle adoption, reduce emissions, and future-proof their communities with reliable, accessible EV charging infrastructure.
The Four Step Process
Whole Life Solutions
Site Survey & Design
Our business development team will determine your current and future charging requirements while our engineers carry out a site survey to create a bespoke and future-proof charging solution.
Installation & Commissioning
Overseen by our project management team, our OEM-approved engineers will install and commission your chargers, and connect them to our remote monitoring software Occulus.
Full Life Maintenance
Regular Over-The-Air (OTA) updates and on-site maintenance to OEM standards is the key to keep your chargers charging and vehicles moving.
Unrivalled Support
If an issue occurs, our networks team are immediately notified and will remotely access your charger to resolve the issue. If needed, we offer on-site response in as little as 4 hours.
Strategic EV Charging Solutions for Local Authorities
As local authorities play a key role in supporting the UK’s transition to electric vehicles, ensuring the availability of robust, accessible EV infrastructure is now more critical than ever. At Vital EV, we work closely with city and county councils to deliver tailored EV charging infrastructure that meets local demand, integrates into urban environments, and supports long-term transport strategies.
Our council-led EV charging projects range from small-scale installations to large, multi-site EV networks, enabling public EV charging stations across streets, car parks, and community hubs. Whether you’re building a network from scratch or expanding an existing rollout, we provide expert guidance from planning to implementation and long-term operation.
Enhancing Public Access to EV Charging Infrastructure
Expanding access to publicly available charge points is essential to drive electric vehicle adoption, particularly for residents without access to off-street parking. Vital EV delivers on-street EV charging solutions that are discreet, reliable, and scalable, helping bridge the gap for communities and businesses transitioning to electric transport.
We ensure that our charging infrastructure meets the accessibility needs of all users, supports mixed-use environments, and aligns with your local authority’s electric vehicle (EV) strategy. Our systems are designed for high uptime, an easy user experience, and full integration with charge point operators, ensuring maximum public benefit from every installation.
Create a reliable public charging network that encourages EV adoption. Talk to Vital EV about tailored solutions for your council.
Integrating Charging Stations into Urban Planning
EV infrastructure shouldn’t be an afterthought; it should be built into the fabric of local development. That’s why we collaborate with planning departments and urban designers to ensure that charging solutions complement the surrounding architecture and traffic flow. From street charge points to rapid charge points in public car parks, our solutions are designed to scale with evolving transportation patterns and population growth.
We provide full support with planning permission, electrical feasibility, and site preparation, helping councils embed EV charging infrastructure into long-term sustainable transport initiatives and regeneration schemes.
Funding Opportunities and Support for Councils
We understand that budget is often a barrier to EV infrastructure development. That’s why Vital EV supports councils in navigating government funding opportunities, including the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund and other central and regional schemes.
Our team can assist with funding applications, business case development, and data-driven planning to help secure investment and deliver cost-effective, scalable solutions that benefit the wider community.
