Police: Electric Vehicles

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentHome OfficeTabled Answered 18 September 2025UIN 72667

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the level of future requirement for (a) standard and (b) fast charging points installed in police car parks for electric police vehicles.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Decisions around the procurement and deployment of electric vehicles, as well as infrastructure to support them, is a matter for operationally independent Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, or Mayoral equivalents.

We would expect decisions to be made with consideration to the needs of the force, their local community, and within their existing budget allocation.
