Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) roll-out in West Berkshire West Berkshire Council is expanding its Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) to support residents who do not have access to off-street parking and to prepare for the future increase in electric vehicle usage. Why Connected Kerb was selected Connected Kerb has been appointed as the council's delivery partner following a competitive tender process, in line with public procurement regulations. The selection was based on a range of criteria, including technical capability, value for money, experience delivering public charging infrastructure, deliverability, and alignment with the council's objectives for accessible and reliable EV charging. Funding and cost This roll-out of chargers is being financially supported through Government Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding, alongside private investment from Connected Kerb. There will be no cost to West Berkshire Council residents for the installation of chargers. What is being installed? Connected Kerb will be responsible for the installation of on‑street and off‑street electric vehicle charge points across West Berkshire: - over 600 additional charging sockets are planned - installations will take place over the next four years - chargers will primarily support residential, overnight charging As chargers are installed, this page will be updated with: - charging location details - number of sockets at each site - charger specifications How locations are chosen Charging locations are identified by West Berkshire Council, working in collaboration with Connected Kerb. Sites are prioritised based on: - areas with high levels of on‑street parking - limited access to private off‑street charging - requests and feedback from local residents - practical considerations such as safety, power availability and highways constraints Resident communication For on‑street installations, letters will be sent to affected residents in advance. These will outline: - the nature of the works - planned installation dates - contact details
