Electric Vehicle Parking and Charge Project

The Park and Charge project is looking to use suitable car parks as EV charging hubs for residents without off-road parking (and thus access to a home charger of their own). Residents will be able to access the chargers overnight whilst during the day the chargers will be available for all car park users to use. The project, which has as its partners Zeta Group, ui-uk, SSE (Enterprises), the Council and the University of Oxford (OU) is supported by an Innovate UK grant and is planning to roll out up to 300 EVSE in up to 35 car parks across Oxfordshire. As part of the project there is a budget of £120k to enable the Service Provider to develop and deliver a communication strategy to educate, inform and encourage residents in the EVSE target areas on the benefits of EVs, the charging facilities in their area and so accelerate the take up of EVs.
