Electric car drivers in Camden can now benefit from 150 new charge points, which have been installed across the borough.
The new fast charge points, most of which were funded by the DfT’s On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS), join the existing network in Camden of 248 lamp column charge points, 95 fast charge points and nine rapid charge points.
The pricing scheme is only based on charged energy – meaning drivers can leave their vehicle overnight at no further cost (midnight to 7am).
Camden Council says this boost to electric mobility is vital to support the borough’s Transport Strategy, Clean Air Action Plan and Climate Action Plan, which all call for the development of a network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Cllr Adam Harrison, cabinet member for a Sustainable Camden, said: “Rolling out an electric charging network in Camden is an important part of decarbonising transport and improving air quality in the borough.
“Alongside making it easier to walk, cycle, and take the bus, the electrification of all forms of transport is an essential part of the shift we need to make.”
