Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to make EV charging at home more (a) widely accessible and (b) affordable.

Answered by Keir Mather

A range of Government grants are available to support the installation of charging devices for people living in flats and rented accommodation and for those with accessible on-street parking.

The Government is also working with local authorities to encourage the use of cross-pavement solutions. Our £25 million Electric Vehicle Pavement Channel Grant, announced on 13 July, will support thousands of residents without off-street parking to conveniently charge their vehicles at home, accessing cheaper tariffs through their domestic energy supplies.
