Redbridge Council is seeking feedback from residents as to where communal charging points for electric vehicles should be located.

“The advance of this technology has been slower in this country than some others, but gradually the electric car revolution is taking off. Redbridge Council is keen to support this form of transport, providing a number of charging points across the borough. This is an ongoing process, so expressions of interest are being invited regarding possible sites,” said Councillor Paul Donovan.

Figures provided by the BBC Shared Data Unit in 2019 show Redbridge has a lower than average ratio of charger ports to licensed electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles when compared to the rest of UK (21 charging locations and 426 licensed electric cars).
