Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Asked by Alex MayerLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 December 2024UIN 15939

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will take steps to reduce the cost of electric vehicle public charging.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government is committed to delivering an equitable transition to zero emission vehicles, which works for all drivers.

Under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, all chargepoint operators must display the price of charging using a common metric of p/kwh and make their data on pricing available freely. This will allow drivers to easily compare the price of charging, and find the best chargepoint for their needs.
