Hertfordshire County Council has published its strategy for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, including the provision of more charging points.
They say “The strategy sets out a plan to provide more chargepoints so residents and businesses will be able to recharge their electric vehicles conveniently and appropriately in the future. It’s forecast that by 2030, a minimum of 3,000 public chargepoints will be needed in the county, a six-fold increase on current levels. Around half of these are anticipated to be provided in locations such as workplaces, supermarkets and forecourts, with public authorities providing the rest” – mostly in existing public car parks.
