uin	123569
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>Our vision is to have one of the best infrastructure networks in the world for electric vehicles (EVs), and we want chargepoints to be accessible, affordable and secure. We are investing £1.3 billion to accelerate the roll out of charging infrastructure targeting support for charging on longer journeys, at home, workplace and on street to make charging as easy as refuelling a petrol or diesel car. We regularly review and publish numbers of EV chargepoints. Since 2015, the number of public chargepoints has grown rapidly to October 2020, with a near ten-fold increase in rapid charging points. As set out in the National Infrastructure Strategy, we will produce an EV infrastructure strategy in 2021. We will ensure we engage with local authorities and stakeholders across the EV and energy sector in early 2021 to inform the development of the vision and strategy.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 08/12/2020 15:42:32 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
