Electric Vehicles: Parking
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of removing the requirement for landlords to apply for at least five parking spaces to qualify for the electric vehicle infrastructure grant.
Answered by Keir Mather
The requirement for landlords to apply for at least five parking spaces applies to the Staff and Fleets and Residential Landlords infrastructure grants within the Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG). The requirement is in place to encourage landlords to consider future needs when installing charging infrastructure in commercial and residential car parks.
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles continually monitors and reviews grants to optimise delivery and value for money.
