Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood has confirmed that the government and industry expect to install over 100,000 EV chargepoints “in the coming years.”
The focus will be on ‘local’ chargepoints—on-street chargers that provide access to EV drivers without a driveway, enabling them to charge close to home. These installations will be supported by the £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund.
“This government is powering up the EV revolution by rolling out a chargepoint every 29 minutes, and our support to roll out over 100,000 local chargepoints in England shows we’re committed to making even more progress,” said Greenwood.
This announcement follows the Spending Review 2025, which committed £2.6 billion to decarbonise transport. Key allocations include:
It appears the Rapid Charging Fund (RCF) has been quietly scrapped, with its unspent capital likely reallocated under the £400 million infrastructure commitment.
Additionally, chargepoint operator (CPO) Believ secured a £300 million investment facility to roll out 30,000 new public chargepoints. Greenwood marked the milestone with a site visit in Exeter.
The government anticipates £6 billion in private investment will fund tens of thousands of additional chargepoints by 2030.
To help electrify commercial transport, Aegis Energy and Cloudics have partnered to deploy 30 multi-fuel clean transport hubs. Each site will offer:
Cloudics, a platform by Astro Baltics, will manage the fully cloud-based infrastructure, enabling integration of future tech and partners.
Earlier this year, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners invested in Aegis to begin construction of the first multi-energy recharging and refuelling facilities for commercial vehicles.
