Connected Kerb secured £16.5 million in combined funding from the UK government's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund and private investment to deploy over 1,100 public EV charging sockets across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. The three-year project will expand on-street charging infrastructure in these coastal towns, addressing the growing demand for electric vehicle charging in residential areas. The rollout is part of the UK's broader push to accelerate EV adoption ahead of the 2030 petrol and diesel vehicle ban. Connected Kerb, a specialist in smart on-street EV charging solutions, will manage the installation and operation of the chargers, ensuring seamless integration with local grid infrastructure. The financing structure includes government grants covering a portion of the costs, with private capital supplementing the remaining investment required for the deployment.
