Help Vauxhall electrify your street
Tell us where you need an on-street charge point
Join the electric streets campaign
Did you know that 40% of households in Britain are without off-street parking? This makes the switch to an electric vehicle very difficult for some. Because of this Vauxhall is launching the Electric Streets of Britain campaign, working with charge point operators and local councils to support theses households and accelerate the installation of on-street residential charging right across the UK.
By completing the online form you could help us identify the need for an on street charging point on your street. Whether you have an electric vehicle already or are hoping to purchase in the future, we'd love to hear what you think.
The data Vauxhall collects will be used to build a nationwide map showing areas of demand. The data will then be shared with councils to help them make informed investment decisions.
We are on track as a country to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2030, this transition needs a reliable charging network in order for it to successfully work. One of the biggest factors in motorists making the switch to electric is the ability to charge from home.
