Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that households without off-street parking are not left behind in the electric vehicle transition.
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). As of 1 November, there are over 71,000 publicly available charging devices in the UK, supporting drivers to switch to EVs.
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.
