The Government is committed to making EV charging infrastructure more affordable and accessible.

The £381m Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund supports local authorities in England to work with industry and transform the availability of EV charging for drivers without off-street parking. The funding, backed by substantial private investment, will support the installation of at least 100,000 local chargepoints.
