Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total value of (1) grants, and (2) other incentives, for the provision of public electric vehicle charging points in each of the last three years.

The Government provides funding to UK local authorities for public electric vehicle charging points via the On Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS). The total funding including completed and approved projects in each of the last three financial years is below:

Figures have been provided for the ORCS grant scheme that supports publicly available chargepoints. In addition, the £400 million Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, which is now part of the new Infrastructure Bank, is a dedicated fund that will accelerate the roll-out of charging infrastructure throughout the UK. Other schemes to fund non-public chargepoints have also been available during this time.
