The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to speed up the roll out electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government is working with stakeholders, including industry, to accelerate the rollout of chargepoints. We have recently published a call for evidence which aims to gather views on how we can reform the planning system to make EV charging rollout easier, quicker and cheaper.

The Government’s £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.
