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
