More Info By Tsvetana Paraskova - Mar 23, 2023, 7:26 AM CDT On Thursday, Surrey County Council and EV infrastructure company Connected Kerb announced plans to install 10,000 public EV charging points by 2030 in what would be the largest deployment of EV chargers by a UK local authority. Surrey County and Connected Kerb will have charge points installed at more than 1,500 locations across streets and public car parks in Surrey to accelerate EV uptake in the area.

The partnership expects to deliver over 5,000 fast charging points by 2027, including over 500 rapid charging points across the county, Connected Kerb said in a statement. "Today's announcement marks another step in the growth of our public chargepoint network, enabling more and more motorists to make the switch to electric vehicles," said Jesse Norman, Minister of State for Decarbonisation and Technology, Department for Transport. The agreement for EV charging points in Surrey fits the UK's strategy to have 300,000 charge points by 2030. The UK will ban in 2030 the sale of new gasoline and diesel passenger vehicles as part of efforts to be a net-zero economy by 2050.
