Recommendation
To facilitate the roll-out of charging infrastructure, the Government must: a) use the upcoming Planning Bill to make public charge point provision a requirement of local plans; b) make funding for the on-street residential charging scheme dependent upon local authorities having detailed charge point plans in place which support rapid charging options; and c) ring-fence a portion of the £90 million local charging scheme to allow local authorities to employ dedicated ‘charge point champions’ to deliver local charging infrastructure strategies.
