Rapid Infrastructure Delivery Project (RIDP)

Transport for London (TfL) have been allocated funding to increase provision of rapid electric vehicle charge points (EVCPs), ensuring availability for London-licensed zero emission capable (ZEC) taxis. This funding should enable delivery of EVCPs at less commercially viable locations that have not attracted attention from private companies and ensure continuing availability of EVCPs for ZEC taxis in London. As Rapid Infrastructure Delivery Project (RIDP) sites need to be available to ZEC taxis, they are likely to be focussed in more central areas of London and will likely come from Borough Roads as well as TfL designated land. It is anticipated the RIDP supplier/s will supply, install, maintain and operate 50kW (minimum) direct current rapid EVCPs at sites where any enabling or power works have been completed by TfL and where there is a requirement to prioritise access for ZEC taxis.
