Response
Q1. How many electric vehicle charging points have been installed in the local authority to date?
12 dual charge points were installed by Herefordshire Council in 2013/14 - 2 are now in the ownership of Town Councils.
1 dual charge point was installed in 2019 for staff and visitors at a council occupied office space.
3 rapid charge points were installed in council car parks by SWARCO on behalf of Highways England in 2021.
Q2. How many electric vehicle charging points does the authority plan to install in the next 12 months?
The council has entered into a new concession contract that will see additional charge points installed in council car parks in the next 12 months. Numbers and locations are to be finalised.
Q3. How much does the council plan to spend on installing electric vehicle charging points in 2022/2023 (as GBP and as a percentage of overall budget)
The concession contract does not require council funding other than officer time. Any charge points installed in addition to the concession contract will be dependent on government grant opportunities.
Further information can be found on the Electronic Vehicle webpage on the Herefordshire Council website. This will be updated in light of any LEVI funding and the concession contract. Please find links below which I trust will be helpful:
