The charging points will be the first to be installed in public car parks in Medway and the council has plans to install more in other car parks in the future.
Electric charging points will be installed in the Rochester multi-storey car park in Cory’s Road, in Station Road car park, Rainham, and in the Commercial Road car park in Strood.
Medway Council has received £85,420 from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) to install the charging points as part of the council’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
Cllr Howard Doe, Deputy Leader of Medway Council, who is leading on Medway’s Climate Change agenda, said:
Cllr Phil Filmer, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Frontline Services, said:
Connected Kerb will be carrying out the works which are due to begin in all three car parks at the end of June and are expected to be completed later this year.
Medway Council is also working with Cenex to develop an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) Strategy for Medway.
