Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to publish a comprehensive plan for ensuring that EV chargepoints are readily available across the UK where people travel, work and live.

The Government does not intend to publish a specific plan beyond the UK electric vehicle infrastructure strategy that was published in 2022.

Through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, the government is supporting the installation of a further 100,000 chargers close to people’s homes. We are working closely with local authorities to ensure that this infrastructure meets local needs and helps people access public charging wherever they live and work.

£25 million was made available to all local authorities in England to support residents without access to off-street parking to charge their electric vehicles on the street outside their homes and benefit from cheaper, domestic tariffs.

The Government continues to offer grants to support the transition to electric vehicles. Grant recipients can receive up to £500 towards the purchase and installation of a charger.
