Kent County Council has awarded a 20-year contract to Urban Fox to install up to 10,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging sockets on streets across the county. The initiative is supported by over £12 million in government funding and targets areas where residents lack access to off-street parking.
The project aims to improve the availability of EV charging infrastructure, making it easier for more people to switch to electric vehicles. Installation will take place gradually over the coming years to ensure widespread coverage.
**Why this matters**
Expanding on-street EV charging is crucial for increasing electric vehicle adoption, especially in urban areas where many residents do not have private parking spaces. This initiative supports local and national efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable transportation.
