Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he has taken to support the installation of electric vehicle charging points for people living in (a) residential properties without a driveway and (b) tower blocks.

The £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund will support local authorities in England to work with industry to provide tens of thousands of local chargepoints and transform the availability of charging for drivers without off-street parking.

Local authorities will also continue to benefit from the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme. So far, funding has been awarded for the installation of over 18,000 chargepoints.

Grants of up to £30,000 are available to help with the cost of building and installation work to install multiple chargepoints in residential car parks, such as those serving high-rise accommodation.

In addition, the Government provides grants to support people living in flats or rental accommodation with an off-street parking place. Grants of up to £350 are available towards the purchase and installation of a chargepoint.
