Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce regulations which standardise the connectors at charging points for electric vehicles.

This Government is working hard to ensure that motorists can access and pay for public charging easily. We launched a consultation last month on measures to improve the consumer experience of using public charging infrastructure. This includes proposals to make finding and paying for charging easier, and to set a minimum standard for the reliability of chargepoints.

We are seeing a natural progression towards the adoption of the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard; we do not believe there is the need for government intervention at this point.
