To help deliver these ambitious changes, the council have been successful in a bid for £887,430 in funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) for up to 320 more lamp column chargers across the city as part of the third phase of the On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS). The procurement approach for this phase, as well as formal adoption of the EVI strategy will also be discussed at the Transport Decision Meeting. Additionally, a further £3,682,000 from the Department for Transport's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund has been allocated to support the installation of more public chargepoints, to help residents to charge their electric vehicles (EVs) even if they don't have off-street parking. The strategy was developed collaboratively with input from various stakeholders and underwent extensive public consultation from 18 September to 29 October 2023. 485 responses were received, reflecting a broad range of perspectives across age groups and geographic areas.
