Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 6 March 2026UIN 116117

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to her Department's press release entitled Grant boost to cover almost half the cost of installing EV chargers for households and businesses, published on 25 February 2026, whether the increased funding for home EV charge point installation is part of the £25 million scheme announced last year.

Answered by Keir Mather

The grant boost announced on the 25 February is not part of the £25 million EV Pavement Channel Grant announced in 2025.

The EV Pavement Channel Grant is providing funding to local authorities in England for the installation of pavement channels during 2025/26.
