North Yorkshire County Council are currently working to overcome the challenges of providing on-street electric vehicle charging.
The Council had received over £3 million in funding so far to deliver 150 electric vehicle charging points and renewable technology alongside 70 of those chargers but have come across a number of issues.
Councillor Greg White says that they are working hard to find a solution to the on-street charging issue.
In the electric vehicle charge point deployment study in 2020, North Yorkshire Council established what the barriers are to delivering electric vehicle infrastructure in North Yorkshire which include:
- Grid constraints and capacity and associated grid connection costs
- The rural nature of large parts of North Yorkshire
- The volume of on-street parking, particularly in residential areas.
Greg White says that they are yet to find a system that can be scaled to the level that they need.
