The London Borough of Redbridge has secured funding through the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles' (OZEV) for the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme(ORCS). The scheme provides funding to local authorities to install electric vehicle charge points for residents without access to off-street parking. It aims to ensure that all residents have access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure, regardless of whether they have private driveways or garages.

What are we proposing?
The Council is proposing to install 5.5kW (slow) electric vehicle charge points at the identified locations within wards across the borough. The charge point will be installed either on the identified lamp column (Figure 1), or on a bollard at the kerbside within 3m of the identified lamp column which is located at the back of the footway (Figure 2).
The proposed locations have been identified in response to residents’ requests and are also determined by the suitability of the on-street space. They have been reviewed and found suitable for the installation of electric vehicle charge points, to meet current and future demand, by Highways Engineers, Parking and Traffic Enforcement Offers and Street Lighting Engineers.
Why make the changes?
The Council has committed to deliver 1,000 electric vehicle charge points across the borough by 2026 and has a rollout plan to ensure those are delivered to meet resident needs and demands. The installation of these charge points will help facilitate the move to electric vehicles and reduce transport emissions to meet national and local Carbon net zero and air quality improvement goals.

What happens next?
The Council is carrying out a statutory consultation as required by the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act (2013) to install these charge points.
Following the completion of the statutory consultation and thorough consideration of all representations, should the Council grant approval for installation, the Charge Point Operator Ubitricity (Siemens) will install and maintain the charge point which will increase opportunities for on-street electric vehicle charging in your area.
