Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which motorway service areas have six or more rapid electric vehicle chargers; and what progress his Department has made on the target for all motorway service areas to have at least six rapid chargers by the end of 2023.

96% of Motorway Service Areas (MSAs) have at least one rapid chargepoint. When the aim was announced, there were only 4 ultra-rapid chargepoints across MSAs in England. There are now over 260 ultra-rapid (150kw+) chargepoints, and more than 480 open-access (can be used with any electric vehicle) rapid (50kW) and ultra-rapid chargepoints at MSAs altogether.
