answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2023 answer text <p>As of 1 September 2023, the Government and industry have supported the installation of over 48,100 public charging devices in the UK. This represents an increase of 43 per cent since September 2022, a growth rate consistent with over 300,000 public charging devices in the UK by 2030.</p><p /><p>Looking forward, the Government expects a market-led rollout for the majority of electric vehicle chargepoints, which will be supported by public investment in key areas. The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund will support local authorities to work with industry to increase the number of chargepoints across England. This Fund will help residents without access to off-street parking to have better access to electric vehicle chargepoints. At the same time, the Rapid Charging Fund will future-proof electrical capacity to accelerate the rollout of high-powered chargers on the strategic road network.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/10/2023 10:56:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
