In addition, 54 charging devices were installed at domestic properties through the Domestic Recharge Scheme, the predecessor to the EVHS. In workplaces, 211 sockets have also been installed through the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), with a total grant value of £81,494.</p><p /><p>Last year, the Secretary of State for Transport wrote to all UK local authorities to encourage them to engage with the upcoming Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund and the existing On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS). To date, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council has not applied to the ORCS scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Officials from the Department have since met with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council to discuss the LEVI Fund, which will provide resource and capital funding to councils in England to plan and deliver local charging infrastructure. In February 2023, Greater Manchester Combined Authority was allocated resource funding through the LEVI Fund to support EV infrastructure plans across the region. This includes working with their constituent authorities, such as Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/03/2023 14:48:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

This should help provision more chargepoints in rural areas, for example it should support places like village halls to provide chargepoints for their communities.</p><p> </p><p>In England, the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund will address regional charging inequality and ensure no part of the country is left behind. The Government has developed a data-led allocation model to award the funding, which considers factors such as the level of rurality and the number of vehicles without off-street parking within the local authority.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of funding programmes for charging infrastructure are available on a UK wide basis. Where public funding initiatives are planned for England only, corresponding additions are usually allocated to the devolved administrations through Barnett consequentials. It is then for those nations to decide how that funding should be spent.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/03/2023 09:18:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises that a whole package of measures is needed to support the switch to zero emission driving.</p><p>HM Treasury has ensured that EVs continue to benefit from a favourable tax regime. There are now over a million plug-in vehicles on UK roads, the majority of which are exempt or pay minimal VED. From 2025, electric vehicles will still have preferential first year rates of VED in comparison to the most polluting vehicles. There are also preferential rates of company car tax for EVs out to April 2028. These measures will continue to support the uptake of electric vehicles.</p><p>Ministers across government departments continue to collaborate on the implementation of the Net Zero Strategy. In the Strategy, the Government announced that it will introduce a zero emission vehicle mandate, setting targets for a percentage of manufacturers' new car and van sales to be zero emission each year from 2024. The Government will shortly publish more details on the design of the ZEV mandate, including uptake trajectories, and accompanying CO2 emissions regulation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/03/2023 10:15:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
