Motion text

That this House notes the growing number of electric vehicles on UK roads; is concerned that the current charging infrastructure is inadequate; recognises that helping people transition to owning an electric vehicle supports our Net Zero ambitions; further notes that making charging facilities available is key to ensuring people can make the switch to owning an electric vehicle; recognises that those in flats and shared buildings in particular are affected by a lack of at home charging; appreciates that being unable to charge your vehicle at home leaves people reliant on public charging points; is concerned about the cost to consumers if they have to rely solely on commercial charging; and calls on the Government to do more to reduce the cost of charging and to support the rollout of electric vehicle charging points, including reviewing the current planning framework to ensure new build homes are outfitted to support at home charging.
