answer text <p>There are a variety of factors which affect the cost of installing an electric vehicle chargepoint. These include but are not limited to:</p><ul><li>the type of chargepoint installed,</li><li>the requirement of upgrades to the electricity system,</li><li>labor costs in the area.</li></ul><p>Given these factors, an average cost of installation may not be representative of an individual cost of installation.</p><p>In May 2022, Ricardo Energy &amp; Environment published a report, commissioned by the Climate Change Committee, looking at costs and impacts of on-street charging. This report provides an overview of the costs associated with installing several different chargepoint types, ranging from a total of £1,025 for a home charger to £138,250 for a 150kW rapid charger.</p> more like this

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>
