Islington Council has announced a £1.2m electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint scheme to install a range of AC, DC and high-speed chargers to support the local authority’s 550+ fully electric fleet.
The AC and DC chargers will be installed by Oxfordshire-based Compleo starting in early 2025 and completed over a two-year period.
The company will also be responsible for maintaining the chargers, which be used to replenish the council’s fleet of electric cars, coaches and tipper trucks.

Islington Council executive member for environment, air quality and transport Rowena Champion said: “We’re committed to creating a greener, healthier Islington, and this partnership is a vital step in reducing our carbon footprint and improving air quality for our residents.
“By electrifying our fleet, we are leading by example and showing that sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand.”
Achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
