GeniePoint Rapid Charging Network

The Council successfully won funding for electric vehicle chargers from the Governments' Ultra Low Emission Taxi Infrastructure Scheme. We are working with the nationwide network providers GeniePoint Network to deliver a robust and reliable network of rapid chargers for drivers in our District. Thirteen 50kW rapid chargers in total are being funded through this scheme across the district.

We currently have 9 chargers live and we are working hard on delivering an additional 4 across the district.

Charger benefits:

100% renewable energy from UK supplies

No connection fee
No membership needed
Discounts for Bromsgrove District registered taxi drivers

Future Charging Requirements

We are planning to provide additional chargers in our car parks which may assist those that don't have their own drives to charge electric cars overnight.

There is a WhatsApp group for North Worcestershire, administered by Midlands Net Zero Hub who are working with Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership. If you want to take part in the group contact Alex.Pearson@nottinghamcity.gov.uk.

Zest

Bromsgrove District Council have partnered with Zest to open two new EV charging spaces in car parks across the district.

Located in Aston Fields, the EV chargers are the first to go live as part of a partnership that will see Zest deploy 120 chargers across Bromsgrove and Redditch, making it easier for drivers without chargers to conveniently recharge their vehicles close to home or on the go.

Zest is the UK’s fastest growing investor-operator of public access EV charging infrastructure.

The remaining chargers are expected to be deployed in a range of locations over the summer.

Do councils dream of electric fleets?

The Energy Saving Trust have carried out a review on our fleet to assist us in planning for a low carbon fleet.

If you manage a fleet and want to know more about this, visit the Energy Saving Trust here.
