Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to (a) publish the Government's response to the consumer experience at public electric vehicle chargepoints consultation and (b) lay any subsequent secondary legislation.
We have consulted on using our powers under the Automated Electric Vehicles Act (2018) to improve the consumer experience at public chargepoints. Proposals included opening public chargepoint data; improving the reliability of the network; streamlining the payment methods offered to drivers; and increasing pricing transparency. We will publish a response soon and seeking to lay legislation later in 2022.
