The Plugged-In Midlands (PiM) Project

The Plugged-In Midlands (PiM) Project combines the roll-out of electric vehicle infrastructure with the development of regional capabilities associated with the electrification of road transport. Jointly managed by Cenex and Central Technology Belt, the project is one of eight 'Plugged-in Places' projects supported by OLEV, the Office for Low Emission Vehicles.

Over the next two years, the project will develop a regional network of more than 500 electric vehicle charging points across both the East and West Midlands that will be fully compatible with the charging points being installed across the country under the wider scheme.

Project Aims:

• To provide the infrastructure that will support the early market for electric vehicles that we expect to see developing over the next few years with the Government’s Consumer Incentive Scheme.
• Plugged-In Places will provide the opportunity to test out different approaches for recharging electric vehicles. The lessons learnt from these different approaches will inform future strategy and influence the development of a national charging infrastructure, a mandate for OLEV set out in the Coalition Agreement.
