All new homes and offices in England will have to have electric vehicle chargers under new laws being drawn up.
The government confirmed yesterday that legislation will be introduced in the next few months that will require the installation of charging points on all new-build properties in England.
The rules are expected to come into force next year.
The government ran an initial consultation over plans for compulsory domestic charge points two years ago but the policy was delayed by a combination of the general election and the pandemic.
The legislation will also mandate that the chargers are capable of “smart charging” to avoid overloading the grid.
