Since April 2022, Bedford Borough Council has had over 12,500 separate charges both on street and in its car parks.

This will help us to ensure the charging infrastructure is accessible and convenient for EV drivers, and will ultimately contribute towards making Bedford borough a greener and more sustainable place to live."
