Prisons: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has set a target for the installation of electric vehicle charging points across the prison estate; and how many charging points have been installed to date.
Answered by Jake Richards
The Department has not set a specific target for installation of electric vehicle changing points in prisons. However, the Ministry of Justice has already installed over 250 charging points across the prison estate with plans to install more in the future.
Due to the varied nature of the prison estate and diverse vehicle fleet, rather than have a specific target, we are working to install charging points where they are most needed to enable continued transition towards a zero-emission vehicle fleet.
