Join the Electric Streets campaign
Electric Streets of Britain
The Electric Streets of Britain campaign supports the 40% of households without off-street parking make the switch to electric. Working with charge point operators and local councils we aim to accelerate the installation of on-street residential charging right across the UK.
To do this we need your help. Whether you drive an electric vehicle today or would consider one in future, we want to hear from you. By completing this simple form, you can highlight the requirement for residential charging on your street. Using this data, we will build a nationwide map of where current and future demand exists. We will share this data with councils to help them make informed investment decisions.
How can you help us?
Vauxhall has launched a database which allows all motorists register an interest in having residential charge points installed on their street. Vauxhall will share this data with local councils and charging operators to ensure investment is focused in the right areas.
You don’t need to own an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle today to complete the form. We also want to hear from you, if you are considering making the switch in the future, this will help ensure the required infrastructure is ready & waiting for you!
What else are we doing?
