Ealing Council is rolling out a new programme of EV charge point installations in line with its focus on creating accessible on-street EV charging solutions for residents.

It’s teamed up again with charge point operator Believ for a new batch of charge points. These will be distributed in 44 sites across the borough, with a total of 83 charge points, adding another 166 sockets for residents to charge their vehicles and encourage more people to make the switch to electric.

Councillor Deirdre Costigan, cabinet member for climate action and deputy leader of Ealing Council, said: “Our partnership with Believ is bringing tangible benefits to local people.”

“With a focus on installing where residents are more than a 10-minute walk from a charge point, Ealing Council has already doubled the number of charging points in the borough in a year, and I am confident that our joint efforts can help us reach our goal of 2,000 EVCPs by 2026, lowering emissions and reducing air pollution for our residents.

“It’s crucial that our seven towns and their suburban areas benefit equally as EV charging infrastructure will boost local businesses, attracting more visitors to the borough to experience everything Ealing has to offer.”

The installation coincides with the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone to Ealing as part of the scheme’s rollout across London.

Guy Bartlett, CEO of Believ, added: “We are very pleased to be supporting the borough in its drive to improve air quality in the local area, reflecting our own commitment to deliver cleaner air for all.”
