Liberty Charge starts installing electric vehicle charge points across London

Liberty Charge has installed 20 on-street electric vehicle charging points across 10 sites in the London borough of Waltham Forest.

The joint venture by Liberty Global and Zouk Capital will increase to 50 sites as future locations are chosen.

Waltham Forest is the first installation in a national programme by Liberty Charge.

The charge points provide access to a charging capacity of up to 22 kilowatts and cost electric vehicle drivers 30 pence for each kW-hour.

A report from Policy Exchange last month found that the UK needed to install five times as many charging points to meet its climate goals.

More will be confirmed throughout the year as Liberty Charge continues discussions with local authorities throughout the UK to maximise on-street charging opportunities for residents.

“There are many challenges on the road to net-zero [carbon emissions] and at Liberty Charge we’re doing everything we can to ensure that charging infrastructure is not a limiting factor,” said Neil Isaacson, chief executive of Liberty Charge.

“We look forward to partnering with other local authorities to give residents more opportunities to charge their electric vehicles on the street."

The joint venture, which was set up last May, uses Liberty Global’s UK subsidiary Virgin Media’s network, installation abilities and trusted relationships with local authorities.

Zouk is the manager of the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, established by the UK Government in 2019 and backed to help develop public charging points throughout Britain.

The charging points will be operated by EV Dot, a publicly accessible network owned and operated by BMM Networks.

The Facility’s Versatility

Between the start of the 2020 IPL on September 20, and the end of the Pakistan Super League this coming Thursday, the Zayed Cricket Stadium has had an unprecedented amount of traffic.
Never before has a ground in this country – or perhaps anywhere in the world – had such a volume of major-match cricket.
And yet scoring has remained high, and Abu Dhabi has seen some classic encounters in every format of the game.
 
October 18, IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders tied with Sunrisers Hyderabad
The two playoff-chasing sides put on 163 apiece, before Kolkata went on to win the Super Over
 
January 8, ODI, UAE beat Ireland by six wickets
A century by CP Rizwan underpinned one of UAE’s greatest ever wins, as they chased 270 to win with an over to spare
 
February 6, T10, Northern Warriors beat Delhi Bulls by eight wickets
The final of the T10 was chiefly memorable for a ferocious over of fast bowling from Fidel Edwards to Nicholas Pooran
 
March 14, Test, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe by six wickets
Eleven wickets for Rashid Khan, 1,305 runs scored in five days, and a last session finish
 
June 17, PSL, Islamabad United beat Peshawar Zalmi by 15 runs
Usman Khawaja scored a hundred as Islamabad posted the highest score ever by a Pakistan team in T20 cricket
