Police: Electric Vehicles

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 11 April 2025UIN 43506

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an estimate of the cost to the public purse of building new charging infrastructure for police electric vehicles in each year between 2025 and 2030.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Office does not hold this data. Decisions about the allocation of police resources locally, are a matter for Chief Constables and directly elected local policing bodies (including Police and Crime Commissioners, Mayors exercising PCC functions and the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime).
