answer text <p>Air pollution has reduced significantly since 2010. Emissions of nitrogen oxides have fallen by 45 per cent and fine particulate matter PM2.5 by 10 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>The same regulated air pollution standards apply to hybrid vehicles as to conventional vehicles. Hybrid vehicles may have lower exhaust emissions while operating in electric mode. However, there is limited evidence regarding the difference in total emissions from hybrid vehicles versus non-hybrid equivalents. The National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory provides public information on the latest emissions factors for road vehicles, which is available online at: <a href="https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/ef-transport" target="_blank">https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/ef-transport</a>.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department considered issues including a mandatory registration and insurance system for cyclists as part of a cycling and walking safety review in 2018. The review concluded that restricting people’s ability to cycle in this way would mean that many would choose other modes of transport instead, with negative impacts for congestion, pollution and health.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Earlier this month, the Government published ‘<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/652e37b46b6fbf0014b757a9/dft-future-transport-supporting-rural-transport-innovation.pdf" target="_blank">Future of Transport: helping local authorities to unlock the benefits of technology and innovation in rural transport’</a>. The document details the support that the Government is providing to ensure that electric vehicle chargepoints are installed across the UK, including in rural communities. This support includes grants for homes and workplaces, support for local authorities through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund and the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme, and supporting long distance journeys through the Rapid Charging Fund.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government recently published its <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/plan-for-drivers" target="_blank">Plan for Drivers</a>. The Plan sets out seven further actions that the Government is planning to take to support the transition to zero emission driving. This includes an intention to review the grid connections process for EV chargepoints, to consult on the expansion of street works permits to chargepoint operators, and to consult on the expansion of permitted development rights.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will continue to monitor market developments to determine whether any significant gaps in charging infrastructure provision emerge and will consider the case for further support if required.</p>

answer text <p>The Government has recently laid regulations to improve the consumer experience across the public charging network. The regulations will ensure that pricing information is transparent, payment methods are simplified, charge points are reliable and public charge point data is freely available for consumers.</p><p> </p><p>Through these regulations, the Government will ensure that drivers can get value for money by comparing prices across different public charge points through a single format of pence per kilowatt hour, similar to pence per litre of fuel.</p><p> </p><p>Overall, in many cases electric vehicle drivers can benefit from savings on the cost of fuel compared to conventional combustion engines.</p> more like this
