100 new electric vehicle charging points have been installed across Bexley.
Bexley Council says that these installations are part of their ongoing efforts to enhance and protect the environment.
These new charge points are located in areas where residents often have limited off-street parking and may not have access to home charging options.
The charging points, provided by Ubitricity, are Type 2 (5kW) units designed for longer stays, allowing vehicles to charge while parked for extended periods.
Users can access the service by scanning a QR code or using a mobile app, with payments and charging management handled through Ubitricity's online platform.
This initiative supports Bexley's goal of promoting greener energy use and reducing carbon emissions in the community.
Councillor Richard Diment – Bexley’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods said: “With increasing numbers of electric vehicles on the roads, Bexley Council is determined that residents and visitors to the borough will have access to charging facilities in places and at times they need them.
“Installation of the 100 charging points focussed on areas with limited off-street parking is a very welcome milestone. I look forward to the roll-out of further charge points in the near future.”
Ubitricity’s UK Market Lead Stuart Wilson said: “The new charging points are located in around the borough and will be particularly useful for those that do not have off-street parking and therefore don’t have access to home charging.
“They are provided by Ubitricity and are Type 2 (5kW) charging units that are suited to longer stay charging.”
