Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Installation - 2026 LEVI Pilot Project

What is the West Sussex Public Chargepoint Network?

West Sussex County Council, Adur District Council, Worthing Borough Council, Arun District Council, Crawley Borough Council, Horsham District Council, Chichester District Council and Mid Sussex District Council have signed a contract with Connected Kerb, one of the country’s leading providers of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. The contract will see chargepoints installed across the county at zero cost to the councils.

Chargepoints in your area

The future is electric. In 2035, a ban on the sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles comes into force. No new petrol or diesel cars will be sold after 2030. All new cars and vans will need to be 100% zero emission by 2035 with new hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles given a temporary reprieve and can continue to be sold until 2035.

According to zap-map (opens in new window) research as of the end of August 2026, there have been 355,746 fully electric cars registered in 2026, which represents a market share of 25.6%. In 2025 473,348 new fully electric cars were registered, which was 23.4% market share of all new cars in that year and 91,378 more fully electric cars than were registered in 2024.
In August 2026 28,063 new electric cars were registered. This represents 29.8% of all new car registrations. Over the past 12 months the average number of new electric cars registered each month is 46,038.

This highlights the importance of having enough affordable, reliable and hassle-free charging infrastructure that serves the community as well as those residents who do not have access to off-street parking.

Connected Kerb have currently installed over 1000 sockets across the county of West Sussex. started to install the network, with many chargepoints already in operation across the county.

2026 countywide consultation

The new on-street locations that are approved for Electric Vehicle Chargepoint installation have been agreed by West Sussex County Council’s Assistant Director for Highways along with the support of Cllr Erika Woodhurst-Truman Cabinet Member for Highways and Cllr Natasha Davie, Cabinet Member for Environment & Climate Change.

The next phase of activity will involve installing further active chargepoints alongside underground infrastructure. This will allow us to future-proof our network by easily installing more chargepoints to meet increasing demand as more people move towards electric vehicles in the coming years.

We’re NOT proposing to change any of the parking arrangements at the moment, so other cars WILL still be able to park as before, although we hope people will be considerate & allow EV drivers to charge. Any future change to parking restrictions would go through the normal consultation process.
