As report,Sadik Khan, mayor of London, transport and the city council will invest £ 4 million in 29 boroughs to install 1000 new EV charging stations in residential areas across the UK capital.
So far, 1500 charging stations have been installed in London to provide solutions for Londoners who are unable to use off-site parking lots, such as retrofitting lamp posts.
In June this year, mayor Khan proposed a plan to comprehensively expand the city's charging infrastructure, estimating the demand for charging stations by 2025. The mayor also plans to make sure 80% of all trips are by public transport, walking or cycling by 2041.
The £ 4m is part of a £ 13m prize from the government office for the go ultra low city scheme for low emission vehicles, which aims to increase the use of electric vehicles to address air pollution and climate change.
From December 28, electric car drivers will be able to enter a new charging center in Stratford, which allows six cars to charge quickly at the same time. The new centre is funded by transport London and operated by engenie, an electric vehicle charging network provider. The centre in Stratford is the first of five in London's EV infrastructure programme. Earlier this month, transport for London met its target of 225 fast charging stations across London by the end of the year.
London is ahead of the rest of the UK in terms of EV infrastructure - a quarter of the charging points in the UK are in London. "The great success of London's ultra-low emission zone shows that Londoners and businesses are ready to play their part," said Sadiq Khan, mayor of London "I want to help people switch to public transport, walking and cycling, and I want all new cars and vans in London to have zero emissions by 2030," he concluded Today's statement will help us continue to work with the boroughs of London and the private sector to expand significantly in terms of the charging infrastructure and the electric car revolution in the capital.
