Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that households without driveways have access to (a) infrastructure that can be supplied from their property at a cheaper domestic electricity tariff and (b) other electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Government is committed to accelerating the roll-out of charging infrastructure so that everyone, no matter where they live or work, can make the transition to an electric vehicle (EV). Those without off-street parking can access the Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Households with On-Street Parking. Eligible applicants can get up to £350 off the cost of installing a domestic chargepoint, enabling the use of domestic electricity tariffs when paired with a cross-pavement solution.
In addition, as of 1 November, there are over 71,000 publicly available charging devices in the UK, supporting drivers to switch to EVs.
