Electric vehicle charging points

We are developing a network of public electric vehicle charging points, to encourage the use of electric vehicles in the Bradford District.

The network will enable drivers within the district or visiting the area to recharge in our town centres, helping encourage the uptake of electric vehicles.

Low emissions vehicles, such as electric cars will assist with the Council’s aim to cut air pollution and CO2 emissions from road transport as they emit zero exhaust emissions. They also help cut noise pollution as they are quieter to run.

Funding for the charge points was made available from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

LEVI Funding 

Bradford Council has been allocated Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding, this is West Yorkshire wide project. The aim is to provide electric vehicle charging points in residential areas where off street parking is limited.  This project will help residents unable to have a home charging point due to not having a driveway or garage transition to electric vehicles.
