Reading EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy Summary

• Purpose: To support the transition to sustainable transport, address air pollution, and contribute to net-zero carbon by 2030 within Reading Borough Council (RBC).

• Background:

  • Reading declared a climate emergency in 2019.
  • Central Government policies (e.g., Road to Zero, Transport Decarbonisation Plan) aim to end petrol/diesel vehicle sales by 2030.
  • Local policies include Electrification of the transport network and reduction of carbon emissions by the council.

• Key Objectives:

  1. Develop a reading-wide approach to facilitate EV and zero-emission vehicle use.
  2. Increase public charge points and infrastructure.
  3. Use renewable energy for charging points by 2030.
  4. Respond flexibly to emerging EV sector technologies.
  5. Lead by example using EV technology in council operations.

• Charging Infrastructure Requirements:

  • Address residents without off-street parking (c.45% of households).
  • Projects 3,000+ on-street chargers by ~2030.
  • Expand public chargers in council car parks, workplaces, commercial sites.
  • Support buses, taxis, car clubs, and micro-mobility.

• Funding and Partnerships:

  • Explore government grants (LEVI fund, OLEV) and private sector collaboration.
  • Use of concession framework to reduce council upfront costs.
  • Collaboration with neighbouring authorities, NHS, universities, and Transport operators.

• Technology & Future-Proofing:

  • Smart charging and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) for grid optimisation.
  • Interoperability standards (BSI PAS 1899) and accessible design.
  • Monitor infrastructure usage and grid capacity to adapt to demand.

• Conclusion:

  • Strategy adaptable to market evolution via concession framework and partnerships.
  • Focus on equitable access, renewable energy, and modal shift support (buses, taxis, etc.).
