UBITRICITY to treble Liverpool’s EV charging network

Liverpool City Council has appointed ubitricity to install a network of 300 on-street electric vehicle charge points across the city.

The additional charge points are set to treble Liverpool City Council’s existing network of 150 charge points to 450. According to Government statistics from October 2022, this will make Liverpool the third largest public charging network in the UK behind London and Coventry.

By investing in charging infrastructure, Liverpool City Council is looking to address the north-south divide in EV adoption and take a big step towards achieving its carbon net zero target by 2030. A lack of accessible public EV charging points is a common barrier to EV adoption, and analysis from the Department of Transport found that as of July 2022, the North-West had 76% fewer public EV chargers per 100,000 people than in London.
