Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) project

The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) programme is a national scheme funded by the Department for Transport (DfT). It supports the installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints, particularly for residents who do not have private parking.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has secured LEVI funding to expand EV charging across the area and support its Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy 2024 to 2030.

The programme will deliver a large number of on-street chargepoints across West Northamptonshire in partnership with private chargepoint operators (CPOs).

Future chargepoint locations

Fair access is a key principle of WNC’s EV Infrastructure Strategy. The strategy aims to improve access to EV charging for residents who do not have private driveways or may otherwise find it difficult to switch to an EV.

WNC will focus installations in residential areas without off-street parking.

Locations will be guided by:

• EV ownership and forecast demand
• local travel patterns
• population density
• highway suitability and electricity grid capacity

This approach supports WNC’s aim to create a fair and accessible charging network across towns and villages.

West Northamptonshire Council will work with residents and local stakeholders to help identify suitable locations.
