Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the implications for her policies of the barriers facing households without driveways in the transition to electric vehicles.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
To support the electric vehicle transition more charging infrastructure will be needed across the country. The exact number in a location will depend on a variety of factors such as availability of off-street parking, future charging behaviour and local driving patterns.
Alongside support for public charging, for those without off-street parking, the Government offers 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, when paired with a cross-pavement solution.
