Croydon's plans to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure are facing delays, with the council's Electric Vehicle Strategy still in draft and awaiting consultation. The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) procurement, a key funding stream for new charging points, is also subject to timeline clarifications from partner boroughs.
These updates were discussed at the Croydon Advisory Forum on Active, Sustainable and Accessible Transport meeting on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. While the council is working on its EV strategy, officers are awaiting further details from a multi-borough partnership led by Bexley. The LEVI procurement is on the agenda, with officers awaiting timeline clarification from partner boroughs. The EV strategy was anticipated for consultation in the New Year, but specific reasons for delays are not explicitly stated. The strategy is currently predicted for implementation after April 2026.
Further details on the EV strategy and LEVI procurement are expected to be provided as the council progresses with its plans. For more information on the meeting, refer to the Public reports pack.
