This is a community focused project supported by government funding to bridge the economic viability gap in EV charging infrastructure in the Midlands. By working closely with local authorities, the project ensures that chargers are strategically placed in locations that are convenient and accessible to, based on comprehensive research and community engagement.Our goal is to make EV charging more accessible and affordable for everyone in the Midlands.
Why does the Midlands need this?
Our approach is grounded in the insights and feedback from the Midlands’ residents. Through surveys and public consultations, and extensive research, the local authorities involved in this project gained valuable data indicating where there is likely to be a present and future need for EV charging, and what is needed from charging infrastructure. This information has guided our decisions, ensuring that the chargers we install are not only strategically placed but also truly equiped to meet the needs of the community.

Our charging stations are more than just infrastructure; they are part of a community-led initiative to make EV charging accessible across the Midlands. In collaboration with our local authority partners, we’ve carefully chosen locations based on public feedback and several years of research, ensuring that chargers are placed where they are most needed. This project is about bringing reliable EV charging infrastructure closer to home, making it easier for everyone to embrace cleaner transportation, not just those that can charge on their driveway.
The locations of charge points have been decided in partnership with the local authorities, identifying the areas with space for on-street EV charging, which are places with many residences less likely to have access to private off-street parking.

What is the LEVI pilot scheme?
The LEVI Scheme is a government-funded initiative designed to support the development of EV charging infrastructure in residential areas. As part of the scheme, local authorities can apply for funding to install charging points in publicly accessible areas, such as on-street parking bays and public car parks. The aim of the scheme is to make everyday charging more affordable and convenient for everyone.
“We have seen the EV market growing and people transition from petrol powered vehicles to electric vehicles. With this increased demand, we must adjust our charging network and build new infrastructure. We are working closely with the local authorities to bring publicly available chargers that are more accessible in the communities they are needed.”
