Chargepoints to be rolled out in Luton Council car parks

Luton Council is set to have electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints installed across all six of its residential car parks.

Charge point operator Believ will roll out seven 22kW chargepoints this autumn, which will boost Luton’s charging network, support the UK’s commitment to net zero, and provide charging for residents without driveways or access to EV charging at home.

Councillor Javed Hussain, portfolio holder responsible for Sustainable Development and Highways at Luton Council, said: “We were impressed with Believ’s response to their tender. This initiative is a key part of our commitment to sustainability and our goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions. By providing accessible and reliable charging solutions for residents, we are supporting more sustainable travel by ensuring that more people can make the transition to electric vehicles.

David Bagwell, Senior Public Sector Partnerships Manager at Believ, says: "We’re excited to support Luton’s progressive goals towards net zero carbon emissions. These new installations will provide residents with more reliable and convenient access to EV charging, helping more drivers make the switch to electric vehicles.”
