The London Borough of Harrow is rolling out 500 new on-street EV charge points across the borough in partnership with char.gy.
The focus is on residential streets and is designed for residents without a driveway or off-street parking. Charge points are attached to lamp columns and provide low-powered charging, allowing for home charging.
Some 225 new charge points are being installed, with another 275 to be delivered by 2 October 2028. All new charge points run on 100% renewable electricity. Charging aims to be easy, affordable and flexible, with clear pricing and cheaper overnight rates.
Cllr David Ashton, Cabinet Member for Finance and Highways, said:
“We’re putting residents first by making it easier to charge electric vehicles where people actually live. More on-street charging means less time searching for a plug and more confidence for drivers every day.
“It’s a big step forward for residents who already drive electric and for anyone thinking about making the switch.”
John Lewis, CEO of char.gy, said:
“We’re delighted to be expanding our network in Harrow with 500 new charge points. This expansion will make a real difference for everyday drivers: people who live without a driveway, those switching to electric for the first time, and anyone who wants reliable, affordable charging close to home.
“Providing local charging that people can depend on gives drivers confidence to switch to electric, and that’s what
this rollout is all about. We look forward to working with the council, residents and local communities as these chargers go live.”
