Northants gets 3,000 EV chargers

A significant development is underway in West Northamptonshire, where one of the UK's largest local on-street electric vehicle charging programs is set to launch. The program will feature over 3,000 sockets, with most of them installed on existing lamp columns, and is scheduled to begin appearing on residential streets from mid-2026. This initiative aims to provide convenient and accessible charging options for residents who rely on on-street parking and do not have the ability to charge their vehicles at home. The program is expected to have a substantial impact on the local community, particularly for small business owners who are considering electrifying their vehicles.
