    Brief

    The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) is commissioning detailed feasibility studies for up to 4 motorway sites to gather technical, cost, and delivery information for the Strategic Charging Infrastructure Scheme. This scheme aims to unlock private sector investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at Motorway Service Areas (MSAs) on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) by removing electricity network constraints. The studies will support the rollout of visible, reliable, and accessible en-route charging facilities that meet growing EV demand, enable longer-distance journeys, and build consumer confidence in the transition to zero emission vehicles. Suppliers should have expertise in electrical network analysis, charging infrastructure design, cost estimation, and project delivery planning.
