Our commitment to electric vehicle charging
We are committed to tackling climate change and improving air quality. As part of our Local Transport Plan, we’re supporting greener travel options, including making it easier to switch to electric vehicles. Our Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Rollout Strategy sets out how we’re delivering charging points across North Yorkshire. While we encourage walking, cycling, and public transport as the first mode of choice, we recognise that many people still rely on cars. That’s why we’re working to make electric vehicle charging more accessible.
Electric vehicle technology has improved significantly, with modern electric vehicles offering longer ranges, better reliability, and a great driving experience. The benefits of electric vehicles can include:
- lower running costs – less maintenance and cheaper charging compared to petrol or diesel
- cleaner air – no exhaust emissions, helping to reduce pollution
- better driving experience – instant power, smooth acceleration, and regenerative braking that recharges the battery while driving
Suggest an on-street charge point
If you know a good spot for an on-street electric vehicle charger, we want to hear from you.
Submit your suggestion through our request tool, and we’ll consider it when planning future installations. All suggestions are subject to feasibility and available funding.
