North Northamptonshire Council to install 1,500 charge points over three years with Connected Kerb

North Northamptonshire Council will deploy 1,500 new EV charge points over the next three years in partnership with Connected Kerb, expanding the current network of around 525 public chargers. The rollout is backed by the Department for Transport's local electric vehicle infrastructure fund and private investment from Connected Kerb, targeting the estimated 30% of households without private driveways through on street charging and accessible car park bays.

Why it matters: The scheme represents one of the region's largest public charging expansions and demonstrates how local authorities are combining government funding with private sector partnerships to address off street charging gaps. CPOs and installers should note the focus on kerbside and accessible infrastructure as a template for similar council led programmes.
