It doesn’t matter where you are currently in the process – our masterclass videos, councillor testimonials and ‘how-to’ guides are available here to help.

Strategy
Your EV charging infrastructure rollout begins with defining the strategy of how to plan and fund the right network for your community. Here you will find guidance from experienced local authorities and infrastructure specialists.
Deployment plan
Deploying EV charging infrastructure is complex, involving many public and private stakeholders who need to be aligned and managed. Here are some real-life examples of how to overcome opposition that you may face.


Funding & procurement
Choosing the funding and operational model for each local authority is a balance between capital funding needs and ensuring the local EV network is commercially viable enough to attract private companies.
This section explains the three models: Own and Operate; Private Ownership; and Public-Private Partnerships, along with some of the benefits and drawbacks of each.
Site selection
Once funding is secured or a wholly private model agreed, you need to address your operational approach, including specific locations and charger speeds to install at each site. Watch a video or read more detailed guidance on the key considerations.
