Businesses and individuals based in the Bristol area can now have their say on the future direction of the local electric vehicle charge point network ahead of expansion plans.

In 2016, Bristol City Council invested £7.1m over five years to install 120 public charge points

The consultation follows the 2016 announcement of £7.1m funding for Bristol City Council over five years, which will be used by the council to install around 120 new public charging points across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
