Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government how, if at all, they publicise the specific location and availability of charging points for electric vehicles.

The Government is committed to making it easy for consumers to find public chargepoints. To support this, the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 came into effect in November 2023. These regulations require operators to share open data freely – including chargepoint location and availability information. This data is then made available to consumers via commercial platforms such as mapping services and roaming providers.
