Reading Borough Council has been successful in securing a £127,000 grant from the Department of Transport to help pay for five new electric car charging sites. The grant represents 75% of the cost and the Council will provide the remaining 25% from its transport budgets or from sponsorship.
The charge points will form part of a new national network which will allow electric car drivers to plan longer journeys and encourage more use of electrically-powered vehicles.
The money will fund three rapid charge points for electric vehicles at Kenavon Drive, Rivermead and Palmer Park, and two fast-charge points at Rivermead and Palmer Park.
