More than 150 new electric-vehicle (EV) chargers are to be installed in Brent, following an agreement with Uber.

Uber and Brent Council have worked in close collaboration to determine where the 160 on-street charging points should be installed

The aim of the partnership is to improve access for those without driveways or home chargers. It will boost London’s overall charging network by more than 7%.

By incentivising a wider shift to EVs, Brent Council aims to help tackle air pollution for all local residents, and share learnings with other local authorities on how private companies and the public sector can collaborate to address this challenge. 

Cllr Krupa Sheth, cabinet member for environment at Brent Council, said: “We are very excited to be embarking on this partnership with Uber that will help increase the number of EV charging points even further in Brent. 

“These charging points will provide greater accessibility for residents who do not have off-street parking, thus helping us promote the use of zero emission vehicles. 

“This partnership is part of a number of initiatives on our journey to achieve zero carbon emissions in Brent by 2030.”
