Oxfordshire County Council is using a £3.6million grant from central government’s Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) programme to deliver an additional 1,200 new public EV chargers by the end of 2027. The funding is primarily for lower-power (7-22kW) chargers to provide near-home charging facilities for residents who can’t easily charge at home.   

Through this scheme, EV charging hubs will be installed in: 

• Public car parks.  

• Roadsides, where not enough suitable off-street car park locations are available 

• Village hall and community centre car parks where there is enough parking to accommodate a charging ‘micro-hub’.  

Oxfordshire County Council would also like to increase the provision of car EV car clubs where cars can be hired on an hourly basis, offering an alternative to traditional car ownership.  

Please use this interactive map to tell them where you would like to see public EV chargers and car clubs around Oxfordshire  View the Map and drop a pin in your suggested spots.  Your suggestions will help inform their plans for future infrastructure delivery and ensure that it meets the needs of residents. 

Once the roll-out scheme has been set up the application process will be open to interested parties. Any community halls and others who filled out an EOI- expression of interest form, will be contacted.
