However, the Government continues to review all options to support the continued rollout of public EV chargepoints.</p><p>Last year, the Department commissioned independent research into potential regulation-based options that may be required to support the continued rollout of public EV chargepoints from mid-2020s, including their opportunities, risks and likely impact. Options under consideration include the potential merits of including renewable electricity in the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. This research is still in progress.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 23/04/2024 14:57:52 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2024 answer text <p>Electric powertrains can make zero emission vans heavier than their petrol or diesel equivalents. To incentivise the uptake of electric vans with a viable payload (weight of goods they can carry), the Department has increased the regulatory weight threshold from 3.5 tonnes to 4.25 tonnes for driver licence and operator licence rules.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has announced plans to further optimise these driver licence rules by removing current conditions for utilising this additional weight allowance. The Government is also reviewing weight thresholds that impact regulations for electric vans in other areas, including roadworthiness testing (MOT) and drivers’ hours rules. Safety is a primary consideration in assessing any changes to regulatory weight thresholds.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 28/02/2024 09:29:54 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>The Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) mandate will support the delivery of the 2035 phase out dates and remains one of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks in the world. It will secure adequate supply of ZEVs to support continued consumer uptake of these vehicles.</p><p>The ZEV mandate also provides long term policy certainty to industry, generating inward investment in the automotive and chargepoint sectors. This is demonstrated in the scale of investment from the private sector. Over the last few years there has been over £6 billion private investment in the electric vehicle industry, including from Tata, BMW, Stellantis and Nissan. In addition the UK chargepoint industry has committed £6 billion in the development and operation of chargepoints before 2030.</p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 30/11/2023 16:00:00 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
