The 18 places where electric vehicle charging points will be located have been listed.
Dover District Council plans to install 49 of them by this March, both in its car parks and on-street.
This is its single biggest such investment and it comes after a grant of £224,270 from the government's Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).
In Dover they will be at the car parks of Albany Place, Maison Dieu Road and Fishmongers Lane (Bench Street).
On-street they will be at Folkestone Road, Park Street, Waterloo Crescent and Lewisham Road in River.
In Deal they will be at the car parks of Middle Street, Union Road, West Street (formerly St George's) and the Royal Marines Memorial Garden.
On-street they will be at the northern part of the High Street, Victoria Road and The Strand in Walmer.
The Sandwich car parks will be Gazen Salts, Guildhall and The Quay and on-street one will be at New Street.
DDC’s cabinet on Monday approved a Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan setting out the authority's aim to become a net zero carbon emitter by 2030 at the latest.
Council leader Trevor Bartlett said: “We’re committed to helping people who live, work and visit the district to cut their carbon emissions.
"By providing more charging points across the district, we hope more people will have the confidence to make the switch to electric vehicles.”
Dover District Council began to switch its fleet over to electric vehicles in 2019.
A new green fleet of vehicles and electric road sweepers will take to the streets as part of a new eight-year waste contract with Veolia.
