Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how the £620 million of funding for charging infrastructure and plug-in grants announced at the Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021 will be allocated; and if he will publish the methodology used to determine what proportion of that funding will be allocated to light commercial vehicles.

Building on the £1.9 billion from Spending Review 2020, the Government has committed an additional £620 million to support the transition to electric vehicles. The additional funding will support the rollout of charging infrastructure, with a particular focus on local on street residential charging, and targeted plug-in vehicle grants. The total funding committed by this Government to vehicle grants and infrastructure is £2.5 billion. Further detail about the allocation of the funding will be made available in due course.
