Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to providing a standing charge relief for electric vehicle (EV) charge point operators connecting in rural areas; and what other incentives they are considering to improve the network of EV charge points, particularly in rural areas.
Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The setting of standing charges associated with tariffs is a commercial matter for suppliers, and suppliers have the flexibility in how they structure their tariffs. Ofgem regulates standing charges, as they do with other elements of billing. The Government is pleased that Ofgem is considering the issue of standing charges through their recent Call for Input and industry led working groups. Solutions would be implemented across electric vehicle (EV) charging sites, including those situated in rural areas.
Our £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund aims to address regional charging inequality and transform the availability of EV charging for drivers. The data-led allocation model to award funding considers the level of rurality with local authorities in rural areas allocated additional funding compared to urban ones.

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have undertaken an impact assessment of Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review, published in 2019, on the viability of new high capacity, low-utilisation infrastructure such as public electric vehicle charge point operators.
Answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
As part of their Targeted Charging Review, Ofgem undertook analysis on the impact their reforms would have on different network users. It has estimated a resulting total consumer saving of £4 billion up to 2040. We are aware that the reforms are causing particular concern for a small number of sites, including public electric vehicle charge point operators. Ofgem will be undertaking a broad review of system costs and will consider whether other cost recovery options provide potential for improvements. Proposals are currently being progressed through industry, and Ofgem are engaging with this process and the detailed proposals under discussion.
