Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme
Councils are currently focused on procuring and installing new electric vehicle charge points using the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme.
Camden and Islington Councils are jointly procuring over 1,100 new electric vehicle (EV) charge points, with the Camden Council Cabinet approving a joint procurement strategy in September 2025. This initiative, funded by the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme, aims to address transport emissions. The tender advertisement is scheduled for October 2025, with contract signature expected in April 2026 and a projected contract start date of July 2026.
Separately, Ealing Council is leading the procurement of EV charge points across six London boroughs, including Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Haringey, and Brent. Ealing's Cabinet agreed to this large-scale project in July 2025, using funding from the LEVI scheme alongside private sector investment. The LEVI scheme is a central government initiative supporting the rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure.
