Lincolnshire will see 40 new electric vehicle charging points installed over the next year, following £249,000 in government funding.
The expansion is part of Lincolnshire County Council’s plan to have 55 new charging points in place by 2027. The county currently operates eight council-owned chargers, with three more recently added. The upcoming installations will be delivered by the council and managed by private contractors.
The project is backed by the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles and is supported by a wider £5.6 million allocation to expand EV infrastructure in the county.
Lincolnshire’s funding forms part of a £39.3 million award from the Local Electric Vehicle Investment Fund, shared among 13 Midlands councils. The initiative aims to strengthen the region’s charging network ahead of the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicle sales, with a particular focus on areas where drivers lack off-street parking.
