Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many charge points for electric vehicles have been installed in Greater Manchester in each year since 2009-10.

Greater Manchester was one of 8 UK regions that received Government funding under the Plugged-in Places scheme, which resulted in the installation of 160 chargepoints between 2010 and 2014 as part of the Greater Manchester Electric Vehicle Scheme (GMEVS). Additional chargepoints will also have been installed with support from the private sector. The GMEVS website lists the location and live availability of the chargepoints on an interactive map: http://www.ev.tfgm.com/
