Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to enforce the new British Standards Institute Accessible Electric Vehicle Standard for charging stations.

While compliance with Publicly Available Standard (PAS) 1899, published by the British Standards Institution (BSI) last year, is voluntary, the Government is actively encouraging relevant parties to adopt its specifications.

The Government will continue to work with industry and other parties to ensure effective implementation of PAS 1899 and inform the 24-month review of the standard, which will be led by the BSI.
