Electric Vehicles: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many publicly available roadside electric vehicle chargers will be required for the phase out of the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles in (a) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
More charging infrastructure is needed across the country to support the transition to electric vehicles, and this Government has committed to accelerate the rollout.
The number of public charging devices required depends on a variety of factors such as the availability of off-street parking, future charging behaviour and local driving patterns. To accelerate the rollout of local charging infrastructure, Lincolnshire County Council, in which South Holland and the Deepings sits, has been allocated £6,380,592 capital and resource funding under the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund. This will help Lincolnshire work with industry to rollout additional public chargepoints to support demand.
