Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many petrol stations have received funding from the public purse for installing charging stations for electric vehicles.

To date the Government has not targeted any of its support for electric vehicle chargepoints at petrol stations. All Government funded public chargepoints are required to be registered on the Government’s National Chargepoint Registry, an open source data set containing information on the type and geographical location of chargepoints. The registry is available online at: www.national-charge-point-registry.uk. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles is considering what future support to provide for public charging infrastructure, and will confirm its approach in due course.
