Market Engagement for the future opportunity for On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Points contract

Tender description

Hampshire County Council is currently planning for future on-street electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This is likely to be delivered under a concession contract on a 15+1 year basis, and potentially supported by approximately £6.6m funding from the Local Electrical Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) grant. Coverage across Hampshire is anticipated to require approximately 55,021 standard charging units, 4,206 fast charging units, 1,700 rapid charging units, 590 ultra-rapid charging units by 2040, as forecast by the NEVIS toolkit.
