There has been a notable increase in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in North Lincolnshire in recent years. This surge is linked to the UK Government’s decision to end the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035. This policy shift is reinforced by the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate which defines a progressive roadmap for the transition to net-zero emissions in the transport sector by ensuring all new cars and vans are zero emission at the tailpipe by 2035. As a result, a further uptake in EV sales in North Lincolnshire is anticipated, emphasising the need for a robust and reliable charging network.

The council is taking progressive action to reduce its emissions by delivering on its environmental strategy; A Green Future. The rollout of EV charge points in all areas of North Lincolnshire plays a key part in the delivery of A Green Future: Our Plan for Positive Change.
