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 charging infrastructure in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Keir Mather

As of 1 January 2026, there were 889 public electric vehicle (EV) chargers in Lincolnshire.

Lincolnshire County Council were awarded almost £6.4 million funding through the Government’s LEVI Fund to increase the number of local chargepoints across the area. LEVI funding and private investment will significantly scale the number of public charge points near to homes, giving residents confidence to switch to an EV. Under LEVI, Lincolnshire and other collaborating local authorities are currently procuring a supplier.

Lincolnshire will also benefit from over £400,000 awarded to the Greater Lincolnshire County Combined Authority through the £25 million EV Pavement Channels grant, which will support residents without off-street parking to conveniently charge their vehicles at home, accessing cheaper tariffs through their domestic energy supplies.
