Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) has successfully bid for £115K from the Getting Building Fund from Coast to Capital LEP which will enable the installation of 90 publically-accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging bays in car parks across Mole Valley.
The grant funding (which remains subject to the signing of the funding agreement), matched by £115,000 from MVDC’s capital programme for car park refurbishment, will see the new bays installed by spring 2022. Potential locations are in the process of being confirmed.
It is hoped the new charging points will help remove a key barrier to switching to electric vehicles and boost EV ownership and use, not just in the immediate Mole Valley district, but also in the wider area given our district’s strategic location.
