• Charging Stations are proposed in estates where the roads have been taken in charge by the Local Authority. In the other estates, the development management company will need to provide the charging infrastructure, ZEVI currently have grants to facilitate such investment by private property management companies. • Normal speed charging stations will not be provided on any privately owned (or leased) parking spaces in estates which have been taken in charge. An Indicative number and location of Normal Speed Chargers have been defined. The recommended strategy with respect to the delivery of electric vehicle charging infrastructure includes the delivery of both a fast charging network in tandem with a normal speed network. The normal speed network has focused on the areas of the city where the majority of residents do not have access to private off- street parking. Electric vehicle charging stations: the supply of normal speed charging infrastructure at the Blackash Park and Ride should be continually expanded (based on recoded demand) to meet the needs of commuters working in the city centre.

The development of a hybrid EV charging network that accommodates and facilitates widespread EV use across the community will support increased uptake in EV use and transport sustainability generally. This will lead to positive effects on local air quality and the climate environment. This proposal generally supports the roll out of and wide use of EV charging stations and will support increased uptake in EV use and transport sustainability generally. This will lead to positive effects on local air quality and the climate environment. This proposal facilitates the development of an integrated sustainable transport network. It is likely to promote the use of more sustainably powered private vehicles delivering a reduction of emissions from the use of private vehicles. It has the potential to lead to positive effects on air quality and the climate environment.
