answer text <p>As set out in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/plan-for-drivers/the-plan-for-drivers#transition-to-zero-emission-driving-1" target="_blank">Plan for Drivers</a>, the Government will continue to champion the transition to zero emission vehicles, by working with industry to address common misconceptions and show how EVs can be a practical option for most drivers. This will include active engagement with news and specialist industry outlets, providing up to date information in government publications and continued media monitoring to rebut false narratives and to highlight the benefits of electric vehicles.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Since 2010 the Government has spent over £2 billion to support the transition to zero emission vehicles. This funding has focused on reducing higher upfront cost of electric vehicles (EVs) and accelerating the rollout of chargepoint infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>Following the success of the Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund Pilot, a further £381 million has been made available over the next two financial years. This funding will support local authorities in England to work with the private sector to transform the availability of charging for drivers without off-street parking. This is in addition to funding available this financial year to local authorities across the UK under the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Rapid Charging Fund will accelerate the rollout of high-powered chargers on the strategic road network.</p><p> </p><p>Plug-In vehicle Grants, which have been available since 2011, will be targeted where they have the most impact. This means until at least financial year 2023/24 for taxis and motorcycles, and 2024/25 for vans, trucks and wheelchair accessible vehicles. There are also tax incentives including zero road tax and favourable company car tax rates.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to keeping the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) affordable for all consumers. Government grants have been in place for over a decade to help reduce the up-front purchase price of EVs. These grants remain available for the purchase of zero emission vans, trucks, wheelchair accessible vehicles, taxis and motorbikes.</p><p> </p><p>Once purchased, EV owners benefit from lower operational and maintenance costs including favourable taxation policies.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also committed to ensuring EV charging remains affordable for all EV drivers. Most EV drivers charge overnight at home where they can access cheap and flexible tariffs. This is a trend that the Government expects will continue. The Government continues to support and encourage innovations to ensure that EV drivers, who do not have their own home chargers, can benefit from cheaper domestic electricity tariffs, such as cable gulleys and peer-to-peer charging schemes allowing owners to rent out their home chargepoints.</p>

answer text <p>Grants to reduce the upfront purchase price of electric vehicles (EVs) have been in place for over a decade and continue to support the purchase of plug-in vans, taxis, trucks, motorbikes and wheelchair accessible vehicles. In addition, the Government offers grants to offset the cost of EV chargepoints in flats and rental accommodation, as well as businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The UK EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy (published 25 March 2022) sets out the Government’s vision and commitments to make EV charging cheaper and more convenient than refuelling at a petrol station. Whilst it is expected that the majority of EV drivers will continue to charge at home, the Government will continue to work with local authorities and the private sector to ensure that public chargepoints are in place to support consumers without off-street parking and to enable long distance journeys.</p><p> </p><p>The Government intends to lay legislation in the coming months to improve the consumer experience when using public chargepoints in the UK. This includes ensuring there is a 99 per cent reliability standard for all rapid chargepoints and mandating open data so they are easy to find on maps and apps.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government has vehicle grant funding schemes to assist with the upfront cost of purchasing electric cars, vans, taxis and motorcycles, as well as e-cargo bikes in due course. The development of the used market for electric vehicles will also make them more affordable for more people.</p><p> </p><p>Owners of both new and used electric vehicles are able to take advantage of tax incentives which favour the least emitting vehicles. In addition, they can also benefit from local initiatives, such as free parking in some areas, as well as the Government’s infrastructure grant schemes, such as the Electric Vehicle Homecharge and Work Place Charging Schemes.</p><p> </p><p>Further technology innovation should also bring the price of ultra low emission vehicles down in the long term. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles has awarded over £300m to support a range of industry led R&amp;D projects that have driven forward ultra low emission technologies and strengthened UK industrial and supply chain capability.</p>
