The Gist

Char.gy has secured a major contract to install 3,000 on-street EV charging sockets in West Northamptonshire, marking one of the UK’s most ambitious local infrastructure projects.

West Northamptonshire Council has officially appointed Char.gy to spearhead a significant expansion of its electric vehicle infrastructure. The contract involves the installation of over 3,000 on-street EV charging sockets across the region, aimed at supporting residents who lack access to private driveways.

A Major Boost for UK EV Infrastructure

The council has described the initiative as one of the most ambitious local on-street charging programs in the United Kingdom. By focusing on on-street solutions, the project addresses a critical barrier to EV adoption for urban residents, providing convenient and accessible charging points within residential neighborhoods.

This partnership with Char.gy is expected to significantly enhance the local charging network, aligning with broader national goals to transition toward sustainable transportation and reduce carbon emissions. The rollout will provide a scalable model for other local authorities looking to implement comprehensive charging solutions in public spaces.
