The initiative is backed by funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles and enables residents to provide input on the areas they’d like to see EV charging points installed at.

According to the council, the scheme is intended to help identify ‘convenient and practical locations’ for EV infrastructure, preventing those without off-street parking from being ‘left behind in the EV transition’.

Users of the map can pinpoint and comment on proposed locations across the community, assisting the council in its aim to ‘build a broader understanding of local needs’.

Cllr Karl Perks, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Highways and Transport, said: ‘We know that access to reliable charging infrastructure is a key concern for many people considering the switch to electric vehicles, especially those without a driveway or garage.

‘This is your chance to tell us where you think chargers could go. By working together, we can help shape a transport network that better meets the needs of Worcestershire’s communities.’

The council has confirmed that it will collaborate with delivery partners to ‘assess the viability of proposed sites’, based on ‘safety, electrical capacity, parking pressures, mobile connectivity, and proven local demand’.
