Plugged in Places

The Plugged in Places Programme is a nationally funded Government initiative led by the Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) 

The PIP Programme seeks to implement the UK’s first electric vehicle charging infrastructure with a view to:

    • Supporting the early market for electric vehicles
    • Contributing to carbon reduction targets
    • Creating a connected network of infrastructure enabling everyday use of EVs
    • Testing different approaches and models for charging EVs
    • Collecting data on the use of charging posts and EV user behaviours which will influence the national roll out of charging infrastructure
To support these aims, and to provide infrastructure as mainstream electric vehicles come to the UK from early 2011, the Government is supporting the Plugged In Places programme.  Match-funding is being provided to local consortia of businesses and public sector partners to support the installation of a critical mass of electric vehicle recharging infrastructure in lead places across the UK.
