Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to her Department's document entitled No driveway? No problem: drivers set to save £150 a year on public EV charging, published on 29 October 2026, when she expects the first pilot enabling electric vehicle drivers to use domestic electricity tariffs at local public chargepoints to begin; and how many households she expects to participate.

The Government is now establishing a taskforce to develop and pilot a solution that allows drivers to use their domestic electricity tariff at local, lower powered public charge points as soon as possible. Details of the taskforce and future pilots will be provided in due course.
