Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Asked by Shockat AdamIndependentDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 14 April 2026UIN 124241

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how the Government plans to ensure cross-pavement EV charging solutions remain sustainable and avoid unnecessary costs in the event that properties change ownership.

Answered by Keir Mather

The commercial arrangements between each local authority and cross‑pavement solution provider will determine who is responsible for maintenance, including when property ownership changes. It is the responsibility of local authorities to develop their own policies on maintenance and change of ownership. Published in December 2024, the Government’s cross‑pavement solutions guidance helps local authorities develop policies that account for both maintenance requirements and situations involving changes in property ownership.
