Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that transport infrastructure is adequately prepared before the phase-out of new non-zero emission L-Category vehicles comes into effect.

In March 2022 the Department for Transport published its EV Infrastructure Strategy, which set out its plans to accelerate the rollout of EV chargepoints. This infrastructure will also support the charging of zero emission L-Category vehicles. The strategy states that the Government’s expectation is that approximately 300,000 chargepoints will be installed across the UK by 2030, at a minimum.

The Government is committed to continuing to work with the L-Category industry to support the transition to zero emission vehicles.
