Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
(asked on 8th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many electric charging points there are in (a) Leeds, (b) Leeds North West constituency, (c) Adel and Wharfedale, (d) Headingley and Hyde Park, (e) Otley and Yeadon and (f) Yeadon.
Data held by the Department for Transport on electric vehicle charging devices is sourced from those installed or funded under government approved grant schemes, operated by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zap-Map. Charging devices not supplied via these schemes or recorded on Zap-Map are not included and the accurate number of charging devices may be higher than recorded in these figures.
The below table details for (a), (b) and in part for (c), (d) and (e):
i. the number of publicly available electric vehicle charging devices as at 1st January 2023 according to Zap-Map;
ii. the number of domestic electric vehicle charging devices as funded by the Domestic Recharge Scheme (DRS) as at the scheme end in 2014;
iii. the number of domestic electric vehicle charging devices funded through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) at 1st October 2022 and;
iv. workplace electric vehicle charging sockets funded through the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) at 1st October 2022.
| i.) Public charging devices | ii.) DRS charging devices | iii.) EVHS charging devices | iv.) WCS charging sockets |
(a) Leeds | 412 | 212 | 4,908 | 685 |
(b) Leeds North West constituency | 32 | 29 | 708 | 35 |
(c) Adel and Wharfedale | - | - | 357 | 3 |
(d) Headingley and Hyde Park | - | - | 30 | 7 |
(e) Otley and Yeadon | - | - | 141 | 19 |
The data across columns should not be summed to create a total as the public charging device statistics and the EVHS statistics count charging devices whereas WCS counts charging sockets, making them incompatible to sum together.
The remaining data requested for (c) Adel and Wharfedale, (d) Headingley and Hyde Park, (e) Otleyand Yeadon and (f) Yeadon are unavailable as the department is unable to publish data at these geographic levels.
A geographic breakdown of data from the Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG) scheme has not yet been published and so has been excluded from this table.
The most recently available published data from the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) show no electric vehicle charging devices have yet been installed in Leeds through the scheme. However, as of 1st October 2022, funding had been awarded to Leeds City Council to install 42 charging devices.
