across the country by providing funding through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint
Scheme (ORCS), the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund and the Rapid
Charging Fund (RCF).</p><p> </p><p>Two local authorities in Somerset have already
received funding from the ORCS scheme:</p><p> </p><ul><li>West Somerset and Taunton
