The UK government plans to enhance the affordability of electric vehicles (EVs) for drivers. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander indicated that forthcoming measures would address the cost of EV ownership, though she did not confirm direct subsidies. An £88 million investment will be made to improve charging infrastructure, including £25 million for local councils to aid residents in charging EVs without driveways, and £63 million for expanding charging points nationwide. Critics express concerns over the pace of government action on EV affordability.
The government has unveiled an £88 million package focused on improving charging infrastructure, with £25 million for councils to install "cross-pavement gullies" for residents without driveways to charge EVs.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed that new measures to cut the cost of EV ownership would be announced later this week, ensuring affordability for potential buyers.
