answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2023 answer text <p>In 2022 the Government published its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure strategy setting out its plan to accelerate the rollout of a world-class EV charging network.  The majority of EV drivers charge at home and the Government expects this to continue, but a reliable public chargepoint network will be needed to support drivers making long distance journeys and those without off-street parking.</p><p> </p><p>A diverse mix of chargepoints will be needed across the UK, not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Local chargepoint planning is an essential part of the strategy. By 2030, the Department estimates that 300,000 public chargepoints will be needed as a minimum, the majority of which will be market-led. ChargeUK members have publicly committed to investing more than £6 billion in charging infrastructure before 2030.</p><p> </p><p>To date the Government and industry have supported the installation of over 42,000 publicly available charging devices including more than 7,800 rapid devices. There has been a 35% increase over the last 12 months (May 2022 – May 2023).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/06/2023 07:17:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
