Electric Vehicle Charging Points - Phase 1

This pilot involves the installation of 80 on-street fast charging points (7-22kWh) on Surrey’s highway network in Woking, Spelthorne, Guildford and Waverley Boroughs.It will particularly be focusing on areas where there are limited off street residential parking spaces. The aim of the pilot is to understand the critical factors that ensure the charging point infrastructure are targeted in locations that best serve our residents and would represent value for money. The results will inform a county-wide roll out of EV infrastructure to support the government’s ambition set out in the ‘Road to Zero’ strategy published in July 2018. The output of the pilot is a design and policy guideline for the County as well as a final report which sets out lessons learned, issues for future consideration and a business model recommendation on how to sustainably fund the infrastructure beyond the 2-year pilot programme. The original contract was awarded with a value of £363,360. Delivery of the charge points is almost complete however there has been a requirement for additional funds. These are to cover necessary bay markings, higher than budgeted Distribution Network Operator power grid connection costs and operation and maintenance costs for the second year of the pilot.
