Answer
In May 2020, the Government published a vision for the rapid chargepoint network in England. To deliver this vision, the Rapid Charging Fund has been established to future-proof electrical capacity at motorway and major A road service areas in England, including the North, to prepare the network for a fully electric car and van fleet.
The Government expects the private sector to deliver chargepoints where they are commercially viable, but will intervene where there is a clear market failure.
