answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2023 answer text <p>There are currently more than 400 open-access rapid and ultra-rapid chargepoints at motorway service areas (MSAs) across England. This includes over 170 ultra-rapid chargepoints, which can deliver around 120-145 miles of range in just 15 minutes for a typical electric vehicle. Some 97% of motorway service areas have rapid or faster charging available.</p><p> </p><p>By the end of 2023, the Government’s aim is to have at least six ultra-rapid, open access chargepoints at every MSA in England, with some larger sites having 10 to 12. The Government expects the private sector to deliver this. Setting a target has already encouraged investment across the country, and led to a significant expansion in available charging on the motorway.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 30/01/2023 17:09:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
