Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, following her Department's launch of the electric vehicle cross pavement charging trial, to detail the engagement she has had with the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, in relation to introducing Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grants for house owners, without access to off-street parking.

Answer:

Officials from my Department attend quarterly and monthly meetings with the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). These meetings are an opportunity to update each other on developments, including the development of our cross pavement charging solutions, and seek clarification on issues such as eligibility on the various grants made available by OZEV.

Further information, including eligibility criteria, on the grants available from OZEV can be found at the following link: Electric vehicle chargepoint grants - GOV.UK. The ‘Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Households with On-Street Parking’ is not restricted to house owners and includes options for those who own or rent a flat.
