Following the Government’s steps to phase out the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars and vans from 2035, you will, from this date, only be able to buy new zero-emission vehicles, either electric or hydrogen.
While this will not affect cars and vans introduced before this date, electric vehicles will need to be charged.
If you have dedicated off-street private parking (such as a driveway), you may be able to have an electric vehicle charger fitted on your property. If you don't have off-street parking, you are likely to need some form of public charging or could charge at your workplace.
To help residents without off-street parking, the Government has introduced the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (LEVI), which enables local authorities to provide on-street, public charging.
Hull City Council is currently developing proposals to deliver LEVI across the city in areas that lack off-street parking.
Typically, the chargers will be located on the pavement next to a road in bays or in a car park, so you will be able to charge your vehicle for a cost.
It is hoped that LEVI can start to be rolled out from late 2026 onwards.

Hull City Council currently provides public charging at the Hull History Centre, Lowgate and Osborne Street car parks.
