Issue - meetings

To seek approval to enter into a shared charging point agreement and to approve the funding for the installation of four electric vehicle charging points at Kimberley Depot.

The Department for Transport has awarded Nottingham City Council a grant as part of the Future Transport Zones funding to develop and operate an electric vehicle (EV) charging network across the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (D2N2) region.  Approval was sought to enter into a shared charging point agreement and to approve the funding for the installation of four electric vehicle charging points at Kimberley Depot.

RESOLVED that:

1.    The Council enters into an agreement until June 2024 for shared electric vehicle charging points; and

2.    A budget of £25,000, is added to the Capital Programme 2022/23 for the installation and set up costs of four electrical vehicle charging points at Kimberley Depot be approved, to be financed from capital grants received.

Reason

This will create a network of public sector organisations who agree to share EV charge points so delivering collective efficiencies in EV operations and overcoming barriers to charge point deployment. The shared network will provide employees from the member organisations with a series of charging points to use for charging Council operated fleet across the region.  This will improve the charging network for fleet users, home starts and employees frequently on the move as part of their daily work. The electricity used for charging will be paid for by the organisation whose vehicle is being charged.
