The Electric Streets of Britain campaign supports the 40% of households without off-street parking make the switch to electric. Working with charge point operators and local councils we aim to accelerate the installation of on-street residential charging right across the UK.

To do this we need your help. Whether you drive an electric vehicle today or would consider one in future, we want to hear from you. By completing this simple form, you can highlight the requirement for residential charging on your street. Using this data, we will build a nationwide map of where current and future demand exists. We will share this data with councils to help them make informed investment decisions.

The sale of new petrol and diesel cars, and vans, is set to end in the UK from 2035. This transition requires a charging network that is reliable and accessible to motorists across the country. The ability to charge at home is one of the key factors determining whether motorists make the switch to electric. We surveyed all UK councils to find out how prepared they are for this transition. The key findings are detailed below. By completing our simple survey you can help us work collaboratively with local councils and charge point operators to accelerate the adoption of this vital infrastructure.
