Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Programme in Kent

project awarded

The project involves the planning, design, installation, and long-term operation of a network of public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across a designated local area. It includes deploying charge points in on-street locations, public car parks, and community spaces, along with carrying out the necessary electrical and civil engineering works to support them. The selected provider is responsible not only for delivering the physical infrastructure but also for managing its ongoing operation, maintenance, and performance over the contract period. This typically includes integrating smart charging systems, ensuring reliability and accessibility for users, and supporting future expansion to meet increasing EV demand, often under a concession model where the provider recovers costs through user charging revenues.
