uin	125182
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2018 answer text <p>Across the UK, almost all Motorway Service Areas already have at least one rapid chargepoint. Highways England has committed £15m to ensure there are chargepoints (rapid where possible) every 20 miles on 95% of the Strategic Road Network by 2020. The Autonomous and Electric Vehicles Bill currently going through Parliament contains new regulatory powers to require the installation of chargepoints at motorway service areas and large fuel retailers if there are insufficient levels of infrastructure at these locations to support growing numbers of electric vehicles. An updated strategy setting out Government’s role in this transition to electric motoring will be published in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 31/01/2018 13:19:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
