Representation ID: 24737

Received: 26/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Christopher Wrathall

Representation Summary:

See my answer to Q57 for the case for installing charging points now rather than in the future. Here are the main proposals:
IBC to fit EV chargers to a percentage of all council-owned parking spaces;
IBC to require builders of large commercial properties to provide EV charging, e.g. chargers at supermarkets, shopping centres, workplaces, etc.
IBC to require builders of residential estates over a certain size to provide for future EV charging at home by the residents.
IBC to investigate options for providing "on street" residential charging infrastructure to terraces where off street parking is not available.
