Case Study
Optimising an EV Strategy for a Local Authority LEVI Tender
The Challenge
A local authority was preparing to update its EV strategy and develop a structured framework for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to bid against as part of the LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) tender process. However, the authority faced significant time and resource constraints, lacking the technical expertise and capacity to build, test, and validate charging deployment scenarios. With elected members requiring clear, visualised plans and tight deadlines to maintain momentum, the authority needed an efficient, data-driven approach to ensure a fair and impactful rollout before going out to tender.
The Solution
Field Dynamics worked closely with the authority to develop a series of optimized charging scenarios, ensuring that business rules and constraints were met while maximising impact and coverage. Using advanced spatial analytics and data-driven modelling, Field Dynamics tested multiple deployment strategies, balancing fair competition among CPOs with real-world feasibility. The solution provided the best possible charger placement strategy while minimizing infrastructure volume—ensuring a cost-effective and scalable approach.A local authority was preparing to update its EV strategy and develop a structured framework for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to bid against as part of the LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) tender process.

The Outcome
By leveraging Field Dynamics’ expertise, the authority was able to avoid the overhead of hiring in specialist resource, keeping the project on track and within budget. The visualised plans helped keep elected members engaged and supportive, as they could clearly see the direct impact on residents. With a robust, fair, and data-backed framework in place, the authority successfully advanced its LEVI tender process, ensuring a strategic and effective EV charging network that met both policy goals and real-world demand.
