Enfield Council is committed to supporting cleaner, greener travel options for everyone across the borough. To make it easier for residents to switch to electric vehicles (EVs), we’re installing 1,000 new EV charging points into existing streetlight columns across Enfield.

This rollout will help residents without driveways or off-street parking enjoy the convenience of charging their vehicle close to home. The new chargers will be low-cost and low-speed, making them ideal for overnight or long-stay use.

This project forms part of a wider programme to create an accessible network of EV chargers of all speeds across the borough. The full programme, expected to begin in 2026, aims to ensure that all residents have shared access to an EV charger within a short walk of their home.

How it works

  • 1,000 new charge points will be installed on existing lamp columns throughout the borough.
  • These installations use existing infrastructure, helping to keep costs and street clutter low.
  • The chargers are designed for residential use, suitable for drivers who park overnight or for longer periods.
  • Our partner Char.gy will manage the installation and operation of the charge points.

Get involved

We’re inviting residents to suggest a location for one of the new charging points. If you would like to see a charger installed on a lamp column near your home, you can submit a request here. All locations will be reviewed against installation criteria, including technical suitability and accessibility.

    Enfield Council has announced a major step forward in its commitment to supporting sustainable transport, with plans to install 1,000 new electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the borough. The Council has appointed charge point operator Char.gy to deliver the project, which will see the chargers integrated into existing streetlight columns.

    The initiative is designed to make EV ownership more accessible for residents who do not have private driveways, offering the convenience of charging their vehicles close to home. The new charge points will be low-cost, low-speed units, ideal for long-stay or overnight charging.

    This rollout forms part of Enfield Council’s wider EV charging programme, set to begin in 2026, which aims to ensure that every resident has shared access to an EV charger within a five-minute walk of their home.

    “Enfield Council is demonstrating real ambition in its commitment to expanding EV charging infrastructure, making it easier for residents to charge where they live and giving more people the confidence to switch to electric" said John Lewis, CEO of char.gy. "We’re proud to partner with them on this borough-wide rollout, bringing our expertise directly into local communities. By working hand-in-hand with forward-thinking councils like Enfield, we’re making EV charging simple, fair, and accessible for everyone.”

    Residents are now being invited to suggest locations for where one of the 1,000 new chargers may be installed on a lamp column near their home, subject to installation criteria. Request an EV charger near your home here.
