Electric Vehicles: Parking

Asked by Mark SewardsLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 22 April 2025UIN 45279

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to make it an offence for non-electric vehicles to park in an electric vehicle charging space.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Parking enforcement on local highways is a local authority matter. Local authorities can use traffic regulation orders to designate and enforce electric vehicle (EV) only bays. For private land, enforcement falls to the landowner.
