The Electric Recharge network - Supplier day

Tender description

* Please note that a further date has now been added, you can book on to it using the link below. The Liverpool City Region is looking to meet with electric vehicle charge point manufacturers, back office providers and installers who could come in and discuss what they may be able to offer the LCR. We hope to go out with this opportunity before the end of 2019 however we would like to discuss the many possibilities with the market first. The Recharge network (www.merseytravel.gov.uk/recharge) is the name given to the Liverpool City Region’s electric vehicle recharging network developed with the aim of creating a vibrant low carbon economy for the Liverpool City Region (LCR). The LCR consists of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral. There are currently 52 publicly available charge points at 21 sites across the LCR. These charge points were originally installed through OLEV and Local Growth Deal funding with the intention of establishing the LCR Electric Charge point network. There are a variety of sites including council owned car parks, leisure centres, rail stations and hospital sites. Sites are mixture of dedicated supply to the charge point and supply taken from existing buildings. The charge posts are Evolt (APT) dual headed 7kw fast chargers, where a full charge takes 3-4 hours. Currently no rapid posts are part of the Recharge network. The back office is currently operated by Charge Your Car and there is currently no tariff set on the network, however, Charge Your Car have recently introduced across the UK a £1 connection fee to cover administration costs.
