If you don’t currently have plans to install an EV charge point, but you are interested in finding out more, you may wish to submit an Expression of Interest.
RDC are looking to install charge-points in Parish, Town Council and Village Hall locations. We invite interested partners to put forward their off-street locations, with a view to developing an RDC led umbrella application to the On-Street Residential Charging scheme.
While there is no guarantee of funding, this process will allow us to collate information and ascertain where there is sufficient interest and eligibility to consider an umbrella application.
If you are interested in taking part in this project, decide where you would ideally like to install EV charge points and complete the Expression of Interest form.
