answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2022 answer text <p>The £10 million pilot for the Local EV Infrastructure fund is technology agnostic and encourages local authorities to provide EV charging proposals that are technically and/or commercially innovative in their approach. Proposals will be prioritised that best meet the assessment criteria, which include innovation and value for money. If a proposal includes vehicle to grid technology and is able to demonstrate strong attributes across the assessment criteria compared to other applications, it stands a good chance in the LEVI pilot competition. The assessment criteria are being tested as part of the pilot.</p><p>In addition to the Local EV Infrastructure pilots, the Government has recently announced an £11.4 million V2X Innovation Programme, aimed at addressing barriers to enabling energy flexibility from bi-directional electric vehicle charging.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 20/04/2022 12:02:09 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
