1 story · 1 council

Barking and Dagenham Council was awarded £1.2 million in September 2025 to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Barking and Dagenham Council was awarded £1.2 million from the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles in September 2025 to expand its electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This funding, announced at a Cabinet meeting, will be used in partnership with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to install 300 standard/fast chargers and 26 rapid chargers across the boroughs.

This collaboration was driven by the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) grant requirement for boroughs to bid on a partnership basis. The grant, launched by the UK government in 2024, aims to support volume deployment and scaled-up delivery to meet residential charging demand. No further council discussions or decisions are currently scheduled.
