Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure increased access to electric vehicle transition for residents without off-street parking.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government is driving forward the expansion of public charging infrastructure so that everyone, no matter where they live or work, can confidently make the switch to an electric vehicle.
The £381 million Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund is supporting public EV charging for drivers without off-street parking.
The funding, alongside substantial private investment, will support at least 100,000 local chargers, ensuring the rollout continues at pace to support drivers in every part of the country.
In addition, the Government also announced a £25m fund to support the rollout of cross-pavement solutions in July, enabling thousands more drivers to charge from home.
