Upon each charging bay unit being active for a year, L B Bromley receives £300 annually per bay from BluePoint London (BPL). As such, £6k will be received in 2018/19, of which part will be necessary for annual maintenance of the units (estimated to be £100 per unit per annum). Penalty tickets for misuse might also bring additional revenue.
Customers pay a monthly subscription for Source London membership and are able to charge their vehicle at any Source London location. L B Bromley incurs no costs for the chargers and electricity use is paid by customers (normal parking charges continuing to apply in public car parks). In certain locations, not subject to pay and display parking, and following consultation with the Portfolio Holder and Ward Members, further potential charging point locations under Source London are proposedfor installation in the next year (again funded by existing TfL LIP monies). The sites are listed below and income of £7.2k should be received during 2019/20.

For residents with off-street parking, the Government currently offers a grant of up to £500 towards a home charging unit, with some manufacturers offering units at no additional cost when purchasing a new electric/ULEV vehicle. For those without off-street parking, a number of Councils, including
R B Kensington and Chelsea, L B Westminster and L B Hounslow, have successfully trialled trickle-charging points in lamp columns using funds from the Go Ultra Low City Scheme (GULCS). Similar residential charging points were proposed for roll-out in L B Bromley (funded initially from £20k LIP funding) with a trial commencing in 2018/19 for 8 to 20 ... view the full minutes text for item 45
