Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate her Department has made of the proportion of electric vehicle charge point operators that comply with Regulation (a) 5 and (b) 7 of the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023.
Answered by Keir Mather
As the enforcement authority for the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with these requirements. As of 31st May 2026, the OPSS reported that 94% of the operators of public charge points that had been inspected were compliant with Regulation (5), relating to the provision of contactless payments. The OPSS continue to engage with operators to complete their compliance assessments relating to Regulation (7) on reliability.
