answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EHVS) has been available since October 2016, providing a grant of up to £500 towards the cost of a home chargepoint for purchasers of new or second hand eligible electric vehicles. Demand has increased significantly which has led to the Office of Low Emission Vehicles processing a higher than usual number of applications. As the market for electric vehicles continues to grow the Government will keep the scheme under review and implement operational improvements where appropriate. While reviewing the scheme we will take into consideration the views and needs of motorists and chargepoint installers.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/10/2019 15:27:56 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
