CUMBRIA will need around thirty times more electric vehicle chargepoints by 2030 than it currently has, a new report has found. The Electric Vehicle Charging Deployment in Cumbria report, by Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS), has highlighted the scale of the challenge to put in place adequate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to support the transition to EVs over the coming decade. According to the report, the county is likely to need between 2,100 and 6,400 public chargepoints just to meet residents’ needs by 2030. After this date, no new petrol or diesel cars will be sold in the UK, giving added impetus to the shift to electric vehicles as part of efforts to tackle climate change.

A NEW scheme is offering to install free electrical vehicle charge points, with a community owned pub leading the way. Charge My Street hopes to work with a range of local and national partners to identify 100 charging points across Lancashire and Cumbria which, the organisation hopes, will allow more and more businesses and community groups to take advantage of the advances in electric vehicle technology over recent years. One such business has been The Dog Inn in Belthorn, with is working towards hosting a charge point. Yvonne Brown, who runs the pub, said: We are keen to work with Charge My Street to get some electric vehicle chargepoints, as we believe this will provide a really useful service for our customers, but also for some local residents who may not have the opportunity of getting chargepoints near to their homes.
