Locals are being invited to have their say on where new electric vehicle chargers could be installed in residential areas across the region.
The West of England Combined Authority (WECA), which is led by Metro Mayor Dan Norris, has secured £6.6 million to create a regional charge point network.
Currently, there are around 580 publicly available charge points in the region.
To make electric vehicles a more practical choice, Mr Norris has secured funding from the government to create the new network, aiming to add over 1,000 new chargers.
Residents are being asked to help identify where new charge points could have the greatest impact in their community.
Using a revamped online mapping tool, residents can drop a pin at the location where they would like to see an electric vehicle charge point in their local area.
Whether it’s outside homes or a workplace, shops, or near a local park, every suggestion will help build a more comprehensive picture of what is needed locally.
You can visit www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/westcharge to have your say.
Alternatively email [email protected] with the postcode, location and building number of where you would like to see a WESTcharge and your reason.
Suggestions made by 28th June will be reviewed and suitable locations taken forward, though residents can keep sending through their ideas beyond that date.
