Warrington Borough Council has partnered with Zest to provide new new electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for the town.
150 charging sockets will be installed across 35 streets.
The locations have been selected to prioritise areas where the need is greatest – where people don’t typically have driveways for home charging.
A mix of fast and slow charge points have been chosen to serve medium stay and overnight parking sessions.
All of the charge points will accept contactless payments.
