Blackpool needs to add 180 electric vehicle charging points in the next five years
Blackpool needs to provide 210 publicly accessible electric vehicle charging points by 2027, a new report has forecast.
It says priorities include trialling on-street charge points for the 65 per cent of Blackpool residents who do not have their own driveways so cannot install private chargers. Lamp post chargers are among solutions put forward for those who rely on on-street parking.Provision must also be made for Blackpool’s tourism industry as more visitors are expected to travel to the resort by electric vehicle in future.
“This will help future proof the economic well-being of the town by ensuring it can respond to visitor demand – which is of vital economic importance.” While the Government has set aside £500m to help local authorities deliver electric vehicle infrastructure, the report recommends the council work with private operators to attract investment.
Pressure on the existing energy network from the roll out of EV chargers also needs to be considered.
