Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the availability of electric vehicle charging points.

Today, the majority of electric vehicle charging happens at home. The Department expects this trend to continue. In addition, there is an extensive public charging network across the country, with over 37,600 available chargers. Government support and industry investment has seen the number of public chargepoints more than triple over the last four years. Last week, the Department for Transport announced an additional £56 million in public and industry funding for local chargepoints across the country.
