Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of electric vehicle charge-point accessibility for disabled people.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government is committed to ensuring that public charging infrastructure is accessible for all. In November 2025, the British Standards Institution published the results of a review, commissioned by the Government and Motability Foundation, on changes needed to improve uptake of the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 1899:2022 standards for charge point accessibility. The recommendations from this review are now being used to inform revisions to the relevant charge point accessibility standards. We will continue to monitor the adoption of the standards and their impact on accessibility to assess the need for further measures.
