answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>We are supporting the development of residential chargrepoint infrastructure through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) (£500 off cost of installation); and we plan to consult as soon as possible on changes to building regulations to ensure every new home in England has a chargepoint where appropriate. The EVHS grant is designed to help private plug-in vehicle owners offset some of the upfront cost of the purchase and installation of a dedicated domestic recharging unit. It is available for people living in flats, as long as they meet all of the eligibility criteria of the scheme, which can be found in the EVHS guidance for customers online. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Governments have launched a consultation to review the provision of chargepoint infrastructure as part of the Law Commission’s work to review and reinvigorate the commonhold tenure in England and Wales.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/05/2019 14:35:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
