Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Asked by Stephen FlynnScottish National PartyDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 27 October 2025UIN 83372

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will launch a consultation on the electric vehicle pavement channels grant; and whether that grant will be treated as a subsidy.

Answered by Keir Mather

A range of stakeholders were engaged during the policy development of the Electric Vehicle Pavement Channels grant, including local government, cross-pavement solution providers, chargepoint operators and disability groups. No further consultation on the grant is planned.

We have assessed the grant under the Subsidy Control Act 2022 and determined that it is not a subsidy.
