The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to publish guidance on cross-pavement electric vehicle charging solutions.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

In December 2024, the Government published cross-pavement guidance to help local authorities understand what they need to consider for the roll-out of cross-pavement solutions. This includes relevant permissions, minimum existing standards, responsibilities and case studies.

In addition to the guidance, in July 2025 Government announced the £25 million Electric Vehicle Pavement Channels Grant to further support local authorities to adopt pavement channels as part of their local charging strategies.
