<p>The Office for Low Emission Vehicles has a number of schemes in place to support
the installation of electric vehicle chargepoints across the UK. The Electric Vehicle
Homecharge Scheme provides a grant of up to £500 to install chargepoints at domestic
properties with access to offstreet parking. The Workplace charging scheme is available
to businesses, charities, and public sector organisations to install chargepoints
for their employees and fleets. A grant of £300 for each socket is available, up to
a maximum of 20. Local authorities can apply for the Onstreet Residential Chargepoint
Scheme which provides grant funding to install onstreet chargepoints for local residents
that lack access to off-street parking, up to a maximum of £7,500 per chargepoint.</p><p>
</p><p>The Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill, introduced on 18 October, includes
powers to expand deployment of electric vehicle infrastructure across the UK, with
requirements for provision at motorway service areas and large fuel retailers.</p>
