Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure fund (LEVI) Charging Points in Kirklees Residential Areas

From: Cabinet - Tuesday 6th May 2025 1.30 pm - May 06, 2025

The Department for Transport (DfT) are providing local authorities funding to deliver publicly accessible charge point infrastructure through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. As a result, West Yorkshire Combined Authority has been awarded grants of £15.83 million from the LEVI fund.   Kirklees has been awarded a total of £2,494,389 to deliver EV charging infrastructure in areas which are predominately without off-street parking. These areas currently deemed to be non-commercially viable to the private sector, therefore the fund is designed to support commercial partnerships in the EV space.   Phase 1 of the project is expected to provide up to 150 charging points to be distributed in key areas of Kirklees, both off-street and on-street, to support current and future uptake of Electric Vehicles. Phase 2 of the project has yet to be designed.   This report places the funds into the Council’s Capital Plan, acknowledges the procurement undertaken by the Combined Authority and delegates authority to officers to delivery the programme of charge point installations.   Consultation The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, in partnership with the 5 districts of West Yorkshire, carried out a public consultation on the LEVI fund proposals. The consultation opened on 25th July 2024 and ended on 11th September 2024.   This consultation/engagement included a drop in events at Kirklees locations and an online questionnaire. The highlight report for the consultation can be found here.
