Dear Anthony,
Thank you for your email, indeed as an EV user myself I am shocked that a company which makes money from their chargers doesn’t seem to want to repair them. I went recently to the charger at Southgate and I can also confirm it isn’t in action.
BP must take action as it is their infrastructure. The highways department don’t seem to think its their responsibility.
Can we please @bp pulse HereToHelp get this resolved ASAP

The issue of out of service charging points has been raised with BP Pulse, who are responsible for their operation and maintenance, so I will follow up given that this has not been resolved.
As for the query about additional provision, in 2021 the Council worked with a provider to deliver 77 new lamp column charging points across the borough.
These were targeted in areas where there is likely to be high demand, for example in parts of the borough now covered by the Ultra Low Emission Zone, as well as where residents have contacted us to express an interest.
Funding has also been secured for at least 30 more to be delivered in the next few months.
There are also rapid chargers in place, including two on the A406, with further provision planned including one in Cockfosters.
More information on the approach to electric vehicle charging, including an email address for residents to make an expression of interest, is available here: https://new.enfield.gov.uk/services/roads-and-transport/electric-vehicle-charging/
Alongside providing electric vehicle charging, the Council is supporting people to move to active and truly sustainable transport modes, including by delivering high quality walking and cycling routes and school streets.
