Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that accessible electric vehicle charging standards fully meet disabled users’ needs.

The Government is committed to ensuring that public charging infrastructure is accessible for all. Earlier this year, the Government and Motability Foundation co-sponsored a review of the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 1899:2022 standards for chargepoint accessibility to ensure they fully meet disabled users’ needs. We will continue to monitor the adoption of the standards and their impact on accessibility to assess the need for further measures.
