Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Damian Hinds and Nadhim Zahawi

Tuesday 22nd October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Nadhim Zahawi]

The hon. Gentleman is right to raise this issue. Our grant scheme and the £400 million charging infrastructure investment fund will see thousands more electric vehicle charging points installed across the whole UK.

[Damian Hinds (East Hampshire) (Con)]

To accelerate take-up, first, we need to have more people having an electric vehicle in their consideration set, so alongside communications to consumers can the Minister look at the pivotal role played by dealers in getting more people to take a test drive?

[Nadhim Zahawi]

My right hon. Friend raises an important point. Different touch points with consumers are important. For example, when people go for a replacement tax on their car, they should be immediately alerted to the fact that, instead of paying that tax, they could pay for a new electric vehicle.
