Written Question

Electric Vehicles: Charging Points and Parking

Thursday 7th March 2024

Asked by: Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to issuing guidance on the placement and design of (1) electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and (2) micromobility parking provision.

Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

All EV drivers should be able to easily find public chargepoints they can use, and accessibility should be embedded in public chargepoint design from the outset. The Government and industry sponsored, Publicly Available Standard (PAS) 1899 provides specifications on the placement, design and installation of accessible public EV chargepoints.

The Government has extended its e-scooter trials until May 2026 to enable us to build on current learning across areas including usage, safety, parking provision and environmental impacts. The Department’s guidance for local authorities and operators taking part in trials sets out that appropriate parking provision should be provided to ensure e-scooters do not become obstructive.
