Suggest an On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Point in Sefton

Overview

Our Approach to Electric Vehicle and your chance to suggest charging locations in Sefton.

Sefton Council is committed to expanding the borough’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. We’re working to develop a publicly accessible charging network across all areas of Sefton, ensuring that everyone has access to convenient, reliable charging — especially residents without access to off-street parking.

We now have an exciting opportunity to use Government funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme. This funding will help us install more public charge points throughout the borough and encourage further private investment in EV infrastructure.

As part of this work, we’re developing our Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) Strategy, which outlines our approach, objectives, and the data behind our plans. We aim to install charge points in a range of publicly accessible locations, including on-street, in council car parks, and at community and leisure facilities.

To make sure we install these charge points where they’re needed most, we want your input.

How to Get Involved

We’re inviting Sefton residents to suggest on-street locations for new EV charge points using the form below. You can suggest sites near your home postcode or any location where you think public charging is most needed. Your suggestions will be reviewed, and suitable sites will undergo detailed site investigations. In many cases, existing street lighting columns may be used for installation. Installation of suitable charge points is expected to begin in Spring 2026, following a separate consultation process.

Please note: This form is for public EV charge point suggestions only. It is not intended for private home charge point requests.

The form also provides an opportunity for you to comment on our overall approach to EV charging. Your feedback will help shape the final version of Sefton’s EVCI Strategy.
