Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Asked by Juliet CampbellLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 19 January 2026UIN 104886

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to encourage landlords to install electric vehicle charging points on their properties in (a) Broxtowe constituency, (b) the East Midlands and (c) England.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Government understand that renters and leaseholders sometimes have barriers to installing EV chargepoints. In October 2025, the Government announced that it will consult on ways to ensure more people have an ability to charge from home. This includes removing barriers to those in rented and leasehold properties.

There are Government grants for landlords to install EV chargepoints and supporting infrastructure. We continue to consider what policy interventions are suitable in supporting the rental sector in the transition to EVs.
