Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will consider measures to improve access to rapid charging for owners of electric vehicles fitted with CHAdeMO charging ports, including minimum connector requirements at charging stations or approved interoperability solutions.

The Government does not mandate the availability of CHAdeMO connectors at public charge points. However, some charge point operators continue to support them.

The Open Data requirement of Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, which came into effect in November 2024, obliges charge point operators to freely share open data from all public charge points, including the type of connectors available at a charge point. This aims to help consumers to easily and reliably find the charge point and connector that meets their needs.
