This question was answered on 24th October 2017
Highways England currently has a £15m programme to roll out rapid chargepoints at least every 20 miles along 95% of the strategic road network. As part of the Autumn Statement 2016, a further £80m was made available for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Government intends to set out its plans for this funding as part of the Zero Emission Road Transport Strategy due to be published by March 2018.
