Go Ultra Low City

Go Ultra Low City

In 2016, Go Ultra Low launched its ‘Low Carbon City Scheme’ aimed at improving emissions in major cities across the country, and with exclusive funding awarded to 4 chosen cities. Of the £40 million total funding, £9 million was awarded to Milton Keynes, the second largest funding in the scheme, alongside London, Bristol and Nottingham.

Funding in Milton Keynes has been distributed as follows:

  • £5 million has been put towards electric and plug-in vehicles over the next 5 years
  • £2 million invested in infrastructure
  • £1 million towards innovation
  • £500,000 invested in the Electric Vehicle Experience Centre.

Milton Keynes Council plan to achieve this through initiatives such as the EV Experience Centre, as well as through the building a Rapid Electric Charging Hub equipped with 6-8 rapid charging units, and by working with local residents and landlords as part of the MK Promise.
