Electric vehicles and charging

We’re making it easier for people across Dorset to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). This will cut pollution and be better for residents, businesses, and visitors, helping to create a cleaner transport future for Dorset.

While government policies and targets can change, the number of electric vehicles on UK roads is expected to continue growing as manufacturers offer more electric models, with pricing to appeal to more people and charging infrastructure expands.

This change is already happening, and it means even more people will be driving electric cars in the future. To make sure Dorset is ready, we’re building the right charging network so drivers can feel confident about switching to EVs.
