The London Borough of Harrow is introducing 500 new on-street EV charge points across the borough in partnership with Char.gy.
A total of 225 new charge points have already been installed, with another 275 on the way by October 2028.
The charge points are attached to lamp columns and provide low-powered charging for those who live on residential streets, without a driveway or off-street parking.
This rollout is part of Harrow’s climate strategy and builds on the borough’s growing EV charging network.
More than 100 on-street chargers are already in place through partnerships backed by government funding, including the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS).
All new charge points run on 100% renewable electricity, with clear pricing and cheaper overnight rates.
Cllr David Ashton, Cabinet Member for Finance and Highways, said, “We’re putting residents first by making it easier to charge electric vehicles where people actually live.
“More on-street charging means less time searching for a plug and more confidence for drivers every day. It’s a big step forward for residents who already drive electric and for anyone thinking about making the switch.”
John Lewis, CEO of Char.gy, said, “We’re delighted to be expanding our network in Harrow with 500 new charge points.
“This expansion will make a real difference for everyday drivers: people who live without a driveway, those switching to electric for the first time, and anyone who wants reliable, affordable charging close to home.
“Providing local charging that people can depend on gives drivers confidence to switch to electric, and that’s what this rollout is all about.
“We look forward to working with the council, residents and local communities as these chargers go live.”
