<p>We want all public chargepoints to be accessible and interoperable for all electric
vehicle (EV) drivers across the UK, regardless of the vehicle they are driving. All
Government-funded public chargepoints must meet a minimum common standard for chargepoint
connectors and sockets, and include a ‘pay as you go’ functionality.</p><p> </p><p>The
recently introduced Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulations will ensure that
all UK publicly accessible chargepoints are required to offer access to all users
on an ad hoc basis without entering into a contract with the electricity supplier
or operator concerned and also sets minimum standards for publicly accessible chargepoint
sockets and outlets.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Automated and Electric Vehicles
Bill is designed to improve the accessibility and interoperability of public chargepoints
further, by giving Government the powers to require chargepoint operators to ensure
a standardised means of access and connection.</p><p> </p>
