Asked by:
Feryal Clark (Labour)

Up to January 2021, specifically within the London Borough of Enfield, the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles has provided grant funding assistance for the installation of 481 chargepoints in drivers’ homes and 31 chargepoints in workplaces as well as awarded funding for the installation of 12 public chargepoints on residential streets through the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS). The ORCS, worth £20million this financial year, is open to all UK local authorities to provide charging infrastructure for residents without access to private parking. This scheme is just part of a £1.3 billion Government investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, including ongoing support for chargepoints in homes and workplaces, which complements growing private sector investment.
