Funding sparks car charging points bid across county

New electric car charging points are to be erected in Lincolnshire after government funding was secured.
There will be 101 standard and eight rapid charging points in the county as a result of the grant.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire County Council, who led the bid on behalf of five councils, said: “The majority of these will be on-street chargers in residential areas with the remainder being placed in council-owned car parks and other council-owned land.
“Analysis by Midlands Connect found that Lincolnshire needs 1,404 new public EV charging points by the end of 2025 to meet the needs of the growing EV market and it’s hoped that this latest good news around the Government funding will spur on more region-wide installation of charging points.”
A total of £935,355 funding was secured to be spread over the five counties.
