Doubts cast on DfT's EV charger funding scheme

THE effectiveness of a Government scheme to improve public EV charging infrastructure has been questioned, following a lack of transparency and concerns over uptake from councils.

Department for Transport (DfT) chiefs announced a £20million investment last week in the Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) pilot scheme, with nine councils - Barnet, Dorset, Durham, Kent, Midlands Connect, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Warrington - being awarded funding. The money is expected to go towards the installation of around 1,000 chargers.
