Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what criteria her Department uses to assess the adequacy of private sector delivery of public electric vehicle charge points for meeting the Government's 2030 target.
Answered by Keir Mather
The majority of public charge points will be delivered by the private sector, which has committed to investing over £6 billion in public charging infrastructure by 2030. Many chargepoints are delivered through a combination of public and private sector funding. This includes the estimated 100,000 chargepoints expected to be delivered under the Government’s £400 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Scheme, which is leveraging significant private sector investment alongside public funding.
