Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargepoint Strategy
The largest proportion of the boroughs carbon footprint is from transport emissions at 46% or 198,500tCO2e per annum. The main approach to reducing those emissions, in light of the Climate Emergency declared by BBC in June 2023, is through the public take up of electric vehicles and supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure. There are currently 53 EV charge points in the Brentwood borough of which 28 have been installed by the council in public or private partnership models.
