Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the availability of charging facilities for households without off-street parking.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government’s £400 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund is expected to deliver over 100,000 further local public charge points for drivers without off-street parking.
The Department is also working with local authorities to encourage the use of cross-pavement solutions and in July last year, announced the £25 million EV Pavement Channel Grant. This will ensure that more people without off-street parking can benefit from cheaper and more convenient domestic EV charging.
We remain committed to accelerating the roll-out of affordable charging infrastructure so that everyone, no matter where they live or work, can make the transition to an EV. As of March 2025, the Government and industry have supported the installation of 118,321 publicly available charging devices in England and Wales.
