<p>In 2018 Office for Low Emission Vehicle Ministers wrote to Local Authority leaders
encouraging them to support the uptake of electric vehicles and apply to the On-street
Residential Chargepoint Scheme. This scheme provides grant funding to Local Authorities
to install chargepoints at on-street locations for residents that lack off-street
parking. Ministers also announced a further £4.5m for the scheme (£2m for 18/19 and
£2.5m for 19/20). In addition, OLEV and the Energy Savings Trust have hosted a series
of on-street charging workshops providing over 200 Local Authorities with more information
on the scheme. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles have regular discussion with Local
Authorities on recharging infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>We have also provided £40m
to eight Go Ultra Low Cities, around £20 million for dedicated taxi infrastructure
and recently announced over £12.5 million for bus recharging infrastructure under
the ultra low emission bus scheme.</p>
