We support the installation of EV infrastructure and note that Part S of the Building Regulations sets out requirements for EV charging in new development, with EV chargers required for every house with dedicated parking, as well as non-residential development requirements.

The policy notes the greatest challenge is installing EV charging infrastructure in existing areas, in particular this will include urban areas with terrace housing, where the lack of charging infrastructure and low-cost charging is a barrier to uptake of EVs. Any provision beyond the Building Regulations needs to be justified, evidenced and considered as part of a viability assessment.
