Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will review the adequacy of fire safety guidance on installing EV chargers in car parks beneath blocks of flats.
Answered by Keir Mather
The safety of electric vehicles (EV) and their charging is of paramount importance to the Government and is kept under regular review.
All EV chargepoint installations are subject to regulations and electrical standards. In July 2023, the department published fire safety guidance for covered car parks, to support car park operators, designers, and owners when installing EV chargepoint infrastructure.
