Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of access to public electric vehicle charging points.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
As of 1 December 2024, the Government and industry have supported the installation of over 72,271 publicly available charging devices.
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. Through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund almost £400m government funding is being provided to local authorities in England to support the delivery of over 100,000 public chargepoints. These chargepoints will transform the public charging network to ensure that everyone can access and charge their electric vehicle.
