Portsmouth Council Bags £100K Grant to Roll Out 50 New EV Charge Points

Portsmouth City Council is charging ahead with electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure after landing a £100,000 grant from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles. The funding will help the council install 50 new EV charge points in residential areas where off-street parking is scarce.

Leading the Charge on Clean Transport

Portsmouth is among the first local authorities to secure this government cash boost. The scheme targets streets where residents can’t charge their electric cars at home, making EV ownership easier for thousands.

Boost for Residents Without Driveways

With the new charge points, locals without off-street parking will get better access to affordable, eco-friendly travel. This move supports Portsmouth’s green goals and encourages more drivers to switch to electric.

Future-Proofing Portsmouth’s Streets

The £100k grant is a big step in Portsmouth’s clean air mission. More EV charge points mean fewer emissions and a healthier city for everyone.
