Maidenhead and Windsor Council have updated their electric vehicle charging infrastructure with the introduction of more than 25 new fast charging points.

The pilot project is being completed in partnership with charging infrastructure firm, Connected Kerb.

The fast charging points are installed across six locations: St Leonards Road, Frances Road and Albert Street in Windsor and College Road, Cromwell Road and Lower Boyndon Road in Maidenhead.

Work will be completed on the 29 fast charging points soon.

Councillor Gerry Clark, cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, said: “By increasing our charging capability, residents and visitors with electric vehicles will be able to travel around the borough with more confidence.

“While deciding to switch to an electric vehicle is a choice for individuals and families, making the infrastructure more widely available can only help hasten and support this transition.”

The project is majority funded by the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles (OZEV).
