About electric vehicles

Find out about buying an electric vehicle and the impact within Lambeth.

Electric vehicles in Lambeth are key for us to meet our net-zero ambitions, but we still need to see a large 27% reduction in vehicle miles to achieve net zero. 

This reduction in traffic will help enable people to choose active travel. But not all trips can be done on foot, bike or cargo bike. 

Lambeth will deliver a charging infrastructure which will be tailored for the trips that need to use an electric vehicle.

Buying an electric vehicle

Consider the impact of replacing your current vehicle with an electric vehicle. You can use an online calculator to assess the impact of buying an electric vehicle.

We have a wide range of programmes encouraging people to adopt active travel. 

You can find out more on how Lambeth can support you in travelling by Car Clubs, walking, wheeling, and cycling.

The Energy Savings Trust has useful information for residents and businesses considering buying an electric vehicle, including guidance on the grants available from the government.
