M90 additional high-power charge points, each

capable of charging two vehicles;

How might we encourage and support owners of home chargers to rent their personal chargers when not in use?

M52 additional fast charge points, which may

replace existing standard charge points;

M264 replacement standard charge points,

with more modern technology and with each consisting of two charge points.

This project is ongoing and will contribute to the provision of EV infrastructure within the timeframe of this strategy, with an expected completion date of 2023.
