Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information the Government holds on the number of electric vehicle charging points in City of Durham constituency.

For the City of Durham constituency, the table below details the number of: ,

i. publicly available electric vehicle charging devices as at 1st July 2023 according to Zapmap;

ii. domestic electric vehicle charging devices funded by the Domestic Recharge Scheme (DRS) as at the scheme end in 2014;

iii. domestic electric vehicle charging devices funded through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) at 1st July 2023 and;

iv. workplace electric vehicle charging sockets funded through the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) at 1st July 2023.

Data on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK, held by the Department for Transport, is sourced from those installed or funded under Government approved grant schemes, operated by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zapmap. Charging devices not supplied via these schemes or recorded on Zapmap are not included and the actualnumber of charging devices may be higher than recorded in these figures.

The data across columns should not be summed to create a total as public charging devices, DRS and EVHS statistics count charging devices, whereas WCS counts charging sockets, making them incompatible to sum together.

A geographic breakdown of data from the Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG) scheme has not yet been published,and so has been excluded from this table. Data for charging devices installed through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) is not available at parliamentary constituency level.
