PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Electric Vehicles: Stockport (19 January 2023)

Government has already invested over £2 billion to support the transition to zero emission vehicles. This funding has focused on reducing barriers to adoption, including offsetting their higher upfront cost and accelerating the rollout of chargepoint infrastructure.

In Stockport 2,166 charging devices have been installed through the Department’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme and 196 sockets through our Workplace Charging Scheme.

Under the Department’s On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS), grant funding is available to all UK local authorities to provide public chargepoints for residents without access to private parking. I encourage Stockport Council to make use of the scheme.
