Northumberland to sport 36 more public charge points

A new suite of electric vehicle chargers is being added to Northumberland County Council's existing network. The Council has passed a motion to add an additional 36 EV charging points at 26 locations. The picturesque coastal region in the Northeast of England, borders Scotland and is famous for being home to Hadrian's wall and the Northumberland National Park.

Of the new charge points being added in the Northumberland region in the UK, 78 per cent of these will be installed on land owned by the Council, with the remaining chargers located on land owned by third parties through a licensing agreement.

While the charging infrastructure is being financed with just over £1 million in external funding from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, generated revenue is being used to meet the chargers’ running costs, management and maintenance. The funding will be used to roll out the charge points until 2029.

The Northumberland Council has an in-house EV Team who will install and maintain the chargers. Cllr Richard Wearmouth, Cabinet Member with responsibility for transport at Northumberland County Council, said: “It’s great to see more investment towards improving EV charging provision in Northumberland.We have one of the largest road networks in the country, and it is vital that we ensure we have the necessary facilities to help people get around.“

The region gained more sustainable transport just a few months ago when 14 new BYD BD11 battery-electric buses entered service.
