Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what further steps they plan to take to promote cross pavement channels to support electric vehicle adoption.
Over 80% of eligible local authorities have applied to the Electric Vehicle Pavement Channel Grant, launched in August last year, and nearly all grants have been issued. Local authorities are beginning to launch schemes for their residents. Over time the funding will support the installation of thousands of pavement channels across England, helping residents benefit from convenient charging and domestic electricity tariffs. Government will continue to support local authorities to deliver through guidance, promotion of best practice and one-to-one support.
