Rapid Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure for Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles.

Purpose

1.1  To identify four locations for rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs within Portsmouth, for the use of taxi and private hire vehicles (PHV). This is in order to provide charging infrastructure to encourage uptake of zero emission capable vehicles in light of ongoing high levels of air pollution in the city and forthcoming changes to taxi and PHV licensing requirements.

 

1.2  Although there are a number of existing rapid charging sites within the city;

Portsmouth City Council (the Council) intends to improve this provision for taxis and PHVs. For this reason, research was undertaken to identify locations that would be of most practical for the trade to use.

 

1.3 Using data gathered through surveys with the trade, four sites have been

identified in which to host up to ten charging points; all of which are proposed to be sited in car parks within the Council’s control.

 

1.4 In addition to the survey undertaken, the proposed locations have been      presented to Licencing Committee to seek the trade’s views on them.

 

1.5 Up to three chargers will be sited in each carpark, subject to technical and financial feasibility.  This is to allow the maximum available capacity for a taxi or PHV to charge and will allow an economy of scale to be achieved at each site.

 

Recommendations

 2.1 That the Cabinet approves the installation of rapid charging systems at each of the below four sites, identified through trade surveys, subject to technical and financial feasibility:

a)    Stubbington Avenue Car Park – 1no. charger (Stubbington avenue Car Park, 2 Stubbington Ave, North End, Portsmouth PO2 0HS)

b)    D-Day car park – 3no. chargers (The Esplanade Car Park, Southsea, PO5 3AD)

c)    London Road – 3no. chargers (London Road Car Park, 10 London Rd, Cosham, Portsmouth PO6 3EL)

d)    The Park and Ride – up to 3no. chargers (Park and Ride Portsmouth, Tipner Ln, Portsmouth PO2 8AN)

 

2.2 That the Cabinet instructs officers to proceed with the installation of the points in order that infrastructure be put in place to assist Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles to switch to using zero emission capable vehicles.

 

2.3 That the Cabinet delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation to approve final locations of chargers, based on feedback from the taxi and PHV trade, should any of the sites listed in paragraph 2.1 prove to be unfeasible.

 

2.4 That the Cabinet delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation to open the chargers to wider vehicle use; should ongoing monitoring of the assets be shown to have very low usage by the taxi and PHV trade.
