To support the transition to electric vehicles (EV) Bradford Council have teamed up with Let’s Experience Electric to assist residents and businesses to explore some of the benefits of EV adoption as well as other sustainable transport solutions.

We will be engaging with residents and businesses to highlighting the latest advancements in EV technology, our plans for the EV charging infrastructure, sign posting towards grants and funding, so that informed choices based your own needs can be made whatever your budget.
