Request
Please could you tell me what percentage of public EV chargers installed in the last 3 years are actually used? i.e. how often are these chargers actually utilized It would be great to know how many have dedicated parking spaces and how often they are actually charging a car. Finally, if you have any information on how much they were to install and how much they are to operate, that would be great.
Response
Oxford City Council has funded and installed 69 chargers, including 11 dedicated car club bays. All chargers are utilized, with car club bays showing the highest optimization. These chargers were installed through various funding programs, such as the Go Ultra Low Oxford fund, which provided an £800K grant to trial different types of chargers for public, taxi, and car club use.
Over 90% of the chargers available for public use have dedicated bays. Installations began in 2017, with additional installations occurring since then.
Additionally, more than 300 public EV chargers are planned for installation in Oxford as part of the 1,300 public chargers to be delivered in Oxfordshire by the end of 2025.
