Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the answer of 20 October 2025 to Question 80890 on Electric Vehicles, whether public EV charging infrastructure funded through the Local EV Infrastructure Fund will offer rates comparable to domestic overnight electricity tariffs available to residents with off-street parking.

The Government recognises that public charging is more expensive than charging at home. To keep charging costs down for users, the Local EV Infrastructure Fund primarily supports lower powered local charging infrastructure, which tends to be cheaper than rapid charging.

The Government has also launched a review into the cost of public electric vehicle charging, looking at the impact of energy prices, wider cost contributors, and options for lowering these costs for consumers.
