Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to help improve access to public car charge points in the London Borough of Havering.

The Department is supporting local authorities, such as Havering, through its £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund. London was awarded £35.7 million in capital funding to cover the costs associated with the installation of EV chargepoints. Havering will also benefit from London’s £3 million capability (resource) funding, which will secure dedicated in-house expertise to help support boroughs to plan, procure and tender the delivery of local chargepoints. In addition, the Borough has been awarded £346,490 for 114 chargepoints through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme.
