Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will allocate additional funding to (a) encourage and (b) support people to purchase electric vehicles.

We are investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for battery electric and hydrogen vehicles, alongside schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets. Along with other measures in the Government’s Road to Zero strategy, this adds up to one of the most comprehensive support packages in the world for the transition to zero emission vehicles. As part of the forthcoming spending review Government will be laying out funding and other measures for future years across all departments.
