Why Local Authorities Need Robust EV Charging Infrastructure
As the switch to EVs gains momentum throughout the UK, local authorities have a crucial role to play in establishing the public EV charging infrastructure necessary to support cleaner, low-emission travel. Passenger demand for electric vehicle (EV) charge points is increasing, and local authority fleets, from refuse collection trucks and highways authority vans to pool cars, are converting to EVs. A national policy has been established to install at least 300,000 public charge points by 2030, with delivery responsibility resting with the English authorities. From kerbside bays on local residential streets to fast chargepoints in council-owned car parks, local EV provision is at the heart of both enhancing air quality and facilitating the long-term transition away from petrol and diesel cars.
Tailored EV Charging Solutions for Every Local Government Use-Case
VPG EV Solutions delivers bespoke EV charging infrastructure tailored to each council’s requirements. For fleet operations, we install high-speed DC charger installations to keep critical services on schedule and rapid charging for when things need to move fast. For residents without driveways, we supply on-street charge points, like slimline lamppost or bollard chargers, that are compact enough to sit neatly in street parking bays, including conservation areas. Council leisure centres, civic buildings, or car parks offer easy-to-use public charging points with council-branded revenue streams and accessible electric vehicle charging. All the solutions are designed with future EV demand, grid capacity, and the broader sustainability strategy of the authority in mind to deliver infrastructure that is future-proof and scalable.
Smart, Scalable Infrastructure for Long-Term Growth
As demand for EVs increases, councils require scalable infrastructure. VPG EV Solutions installs modular DC charging hardware with dynamic load management and smart grid integration, using a phased and flexible roll-out. In close collaboration with our partners at Vital Power Group, we can provide grid reinforcements, add battery storage to control peak loads, and even integrate EV chargepoints with renewable energy, all of which help authorities reduce emissions and develop more resilient energy systems.
Real-Time Data & Full Regulatory Compliance
Our EV charge point installations are all backed by a secure charge-point management system (CPMS) Occulus, providing local authorities with complete visibility of usage patterns, energy consumption, and performance. The platform also simplifies tariff control, user access, and grant reporting, making it easy for you to operate public and staff chargepoints. Our charge points meet the new Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, providing contactless payment, stable uptime, and open data feeds under government standards.
