Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support he will make available to people without access to off-street parking to transition to electric vehicles.

The Government wants to ensure that lack of access to off-street parking is not a barrier to realising the benefits of owning a plug-in electric vehicle. We have doubled the funding available under the On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme this year to £20 million to ensure more local authorities and residents can benefit from the scheme. This will allow local authorities to install up to 7,200 charging devices, making it more convenient to charge and own and electric vehicle. In addition, Government is investing almost £40 million in projects to support innovation in wireless and on-street charging technology to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles.
