In a bid to build a fairer, cleaner future where every family can benefit from cheaper, greener transport, a pioneering scheme for local authorities will expand access to cheaper at-home charging. This will include help for those without driveways using innovative cross-pavement technology. The Energy Saving Trust has found that cost savings are highest when you charge at home on an EV tariff, which can work out as low as 2p per mile.

The Government has also pledged a £63 million boost for Britain’s charging infrastructure. The UK’s charging network has reached a record 82,000 public chargepoints, with a further 100,000 expected to be installed before 2030.

Other initiatives announced today include immediate changes to allow larger EV charging hubs to be signposted from major A-roads for the first time. EV charging hubs have more than doubled in the last two years and the Government is committed to boosting charging for long journeys. £400 million is allocated in the Spending Review to support charging infrastructure including on the strategic road network.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said:

“We are making it easier and cheaper to own an electric vehicle. We know access to charging is a barrier for people thinking of making the switch, so we are tackling that head on so that everyone – whether or not they have a driveway – can access the benefits of going electric.”
