In addition, the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (£200m new Government investment, to be matched by private investors), announced at Budget last year, will accelerate the roll-out of charging infrastructure by providing access to finance to companies that deliver chargepoints.</p><p> </p><p>The Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill gives the Government new powers to improve the provision of electric vehicle infrastructure, including powers to regulate technical standards of infrastructure to ensure easy compatibility with vehicles, to ensure provision of data on chargepoint locations and their availability, and to require provision of infrastructure at motorway service areas and large fuel retailers.
