Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce measures to ensure that public electric vehicle charging infrastructure remains accessible to owners of older electric vehicles that use CHAdeMO connectors.

The Government does not mandate the provision of specific connectors at public charge points. Some charge point operators continue to provide CHAdeMO connectors for consumers that require them.

The Open Data requirement of the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 obliges charge point operators to share open data from all public charge points, including data on the types of connectors available. This aims to help consumers easily and reliably find the charge point and connector that meets their needs.
