Request

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following EV-related information from Rushcliffe Council.

Please may you provide me with:

1. Funding received

• For each financial year since 2019/20, the total amount of funding your authority has received through EV infrastructure or charging schemes (if applicable), such as:
  
  • On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS)
  • Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund – Capital and/or Capability funding
  • Any other government or devolved nation funding scheme specifically for EV charging/infrastructure
• If providing all years would exceed the appropriate cost limit, please provide figures from as many of the most recent financial years as possible, starting with the most recent financial year. If time allows, please ensure to break this down by the amount received per scheme.

2. Expenditure
   For each financial year since 2019/20, how much from each source of funding has been spent by your authority, and on what (for example: chargepoints installed, staff, planning, etc).
   If providing full detail would exceed the cost limit, please provide figures from as many of the most recent financial years as possible, starting with the most recent financial year, and the number of chargepoints installed as a result per year.
3. Current/planned allocations
   
   • Your authority’s budget allocation (if any) for EV charging infrastructure in the current financial year.
   • Whether your authority has been rejected by any EV charging infrastructure schemes/grants in the current financial year.
   • Whether your authority has applied for, has plans to apply for, and/or has been allocated funding under the recently announced Electric Vehicle (EV) Pavement Channels Grant (2025–26)
4. Strategy
   Whether your authority has a published EV infrastructure strategy or plan, and if so, please provide a link or copy.
