Liberty Charge has installed 20 on-street electric vehicle charging points across 10 sites in the London borough of Waltham Forest.
The joint venture by Liberty Global and Zouk Capital will increase to 50 sites as future locations are chosen.
Waltham Forest is the first installation in a national programme by Liberty Charge.
The charge points provide access to a charging capacity of up to 22 kilowatts and cost electric vehicle drivers 30 pence for each kW-hour.
A report from Policy Exchange last month found that the UK needed to install five times as many charging points to meet its climate goals.
More will be confirmed throughout the year as Liberty Charge continues discussions with local authorities throughout the UK to maximise on-street charging opportunities for residents.
“There are many challenges on the road to net-zero [carbon emissions] and at Liberty Charge we’re doing everything we can to ensure that charging infrastructure is not a limiting factor,” said Neil Isaacson, chief executive of Liberty Charge.
“We look forward to partnering with other local authorities to give residents more opportunities to charge their electric vehicles on the street."
The joint venture, which was set up last May, uses Liberty Global’s UK subsidiary Virgin Media’s network, installation abilities and trusted relationships with local authorities.
Zouk is the manager of the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, established by the UK Government in 2019 and backed to help develop public charging points throughout Britain.
The charging points will be operated by EV Dot, a publicly accessible network owned and operated by BMM Networks.
