We are working hard with industry to grow a UK-wide, reliable and easy to use electric vehicle recharging network infrastructure to make recharging an electric vehicle is as easy as refuelling a petrol and diesel car and to give more drivers the confidence to make the switch to plug-in zero emission vehicles. We are investing £1.3 billion in accelerating the roll out of charging infrastructure over the next four years. This will target support on rapid chargepoints on motorways and major roads, and installing more on-street chargepoints near homes and workplaces to make charging as easy as refuelling a petrol or diesel car. Our grant schemes and the £400m Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund will see thousands more electric vehicle charge-points installed across the UK.
