The 2024 English Housing Survey notes that around a third of households in England do not have access to off-street parking. To support these households, the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund supports local authorities in England to work with industry and transform the availability of electric vehicle charging for drivers without off-street parking alongside substantial private investment. Charge point deployment is a key enabling measure to support the electric vehicle transition.
