Thousands of new electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints will soon be installed across Hertfordshire...
This is after the county council appointed three leading chargepoint operators to deliver a major infrastructure programme backed by over £6 million in secured grant funding.
The rollout marks a major step in delivering on Hertfordshire County Council’s Corporate Plan commitment to growing a greener Hertfordshire, making EV charging easier, fairer and more reliable for residents and businesses.
Working in close partnership with district and borough councils, the council has already identified priority areas across the county where residents lack off-street parking.
Cllr Paul Zukowskyj, Executive Member for Environment, Transport and Growth, said:
“Hertfordshire is powering up for a safer, more accessible and sustainable transport future. This is about more than installing chargepoints – it’s about building confidence, supporting local growth and making sustainable travel a practical choice for everyone.”
The council is on track to deliver 3,000 new sockets by 2030, ensuring provision keeps pace with rising demand and supporting communities currently underserved by EV infrastructure.
Hertfordshire County Council, which declared a climate emergency in 2019, continues to take bold action to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and promote sustainable transport choices. Expanding the EV charging network is a key part of this work.
