18. What steps he is taking to improve charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

[The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Michael Ellis)]

We are consulting on all new build homes in England being fitted with charge points, and we want all new public rapid charge points also to offer pay-as-you-go card payments from the spring of 2020. Our grant schemes and the £400 million charging infrastructure investment fund will see the installation of thousands more public charge points, adding to the 20,000 already installed.
