Public charging points for electric cars and vans are being installed across Bexley, as part of the borough’s commitment to protect and enhance our green environment for our current and future generations.

Our new partner Ubitricity will be maintaining these new charge points using a combination of bollards and street lamppost charges built into existing street furniture on residential roads.

The charge points, which take as little as two hours to install, will be deployed on residential streets across Bexley – with at least two per Ward within the borough and will charge at speeds of up to 5kW.

Councillor Richard Diment - Cabinet Member for Places said:

Installing these chargers using existing lampposts means that there is less physical infrastructure to install and disruption will be kept to a minimum, keeping our street green without cluttering them.

We are excited to work with Ubitricity and look forward to expanding our network of charging points across the borough."

Toby Butler, UK Managing Director of Ubitricity said:

The future of mobility is electric and the multitude of EVs taking to the roads must have access to convenient charging infrastructure close to home. 

We’re thrilled to add Bexley to our list of council partners across the UK whose trust has helped Ubitricity become the UK’s leading charge point provider and look forward to helping support their residents in the switch to EV.”

There are many publicly accessible charge points in car parks and retail outlets. To find out more visit our Electric vehicle web page.
