Funding Boost for EV Charging

Good news today as the UK government gives 'Boost for drivers as millions delivered for EV charge points across the country'.

Charging electric vehicles (EVs) is set to get even easier £381 million of funding is made available for local authorities, homeowners and renters.

The money is from the Local Electric Vehicle (LEVI) fund for councils, who can choose where best to install charge points in their local area. 

44 councils across England will benefit from the funding to boost the rollout of EV charge points.

The EV charge point grant is being expanded to help those without a driveway as part of the government’s Plan for Drivers.

This news comes as over 56,000 public charge points have now been installed across the UK – up 47% from this time last year.

Minister for Affordability and Skills Amanda Solloway said:

"This funding will make it easier for people to switch to electric vehicles. By bolstering our public charging network, we are not only making electric vehicles more accessible, but also driving the transition towards a cleaner, greener future."
