Local chargepoint planning is an essential part of the strategy. By 2030, the Department estimates that 300,000 public chargepoints will be needed as a minimum, the majority of which will be market-led. ChargeUK members have publicly committed to investing more than £6 billion in charging infrastructure before 2030.</p><p> </p><p>To date the Government and industry have supported the installation of over 42,000 publicly available charging devices including more than 7,800 rapid devices. There has been a 35% increase over the last 12 months (May 2022 – May 2023).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/06/2023 07:17:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
