\u00a0<\/span><\/p>This initiative will bring the first on-street EV charging infrastructure to Leicestershire, Herefordshire, Rutland, Stoke-on-Trent and one other county. The focus is on making EV charging accessible to residents, especially those without access to off-street parking, by strategically placing charging points to best meet the needs of local communities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>The selection of charging sites has been a thoughtful process conducted in collaboration with the consortium members and backed by extensive research. We are prioritising areas with limited access to off-street parking to stimulate growing demand for EV infrastructure. This strategic placement ensures a balanced deployment across the region, supporting the widespread transition to electric mobility and the net zero goals of each local authority.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>The deployment will include a mostly low-speed charging experience to serve each community\u2019s daily charging needs, complemented by rapid and ultra-rapid charging in some local authority-owned car parks or on-street. This mix ensures the coverage of various charging needs, from daily commuting to longer journeys.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Gustavo Prince, Head of Wenea UK<\/strong>, emphasised the importance of this partnership: \u201cWe are thrilled to collaborate with the councils forming the First Midlands EV Infrastructure Consortium (FMEVIC), expanding our presence across the UK. The FMEVIC project represents an exciting step in our mission to make electric vehicle charging accessible to all in the UK, securing one of the first LEVI-backed concessions. By strategically deploying chargers across the Midlands, we are not only addressing current infrastructure gaps but also paving the way for a more sustainable and inclusive future for electric mobility<\/em>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>Councillor Finlay Gordon-McCusker<\/strong>, cabinet member for transport, infrastructure and regeneration at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with Wenea and the consortium to deliver electric vehicle charging points across Stoke-on-Trent. We know we have a shortage of chargers in the city at the moment and this partnership will take us one step closer to being able to meet future demand. This work forms part of our wider ambition to improve transport infrastructure in the city to make it as easy and affordable as possible for people to get around and will play a key part in helping to decarbonise our local transport network to make our city a greener and healthier place to live<\/em>\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
