Will the Minister outline what funding or assistance is being made available to local authorities to assist them in installing publicly available electric vehicle charging stations across Wales?
We are currently working with Local Authorities with a view to preparing applications for the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) On-Street Residential charging scheme, which will provide funding for the delivery of publically available 7-22kW charging serving properties without access to home based EV charging.
Tourism infrastructure projects have also been supported through our Brilliant Basics capital programme, which include projects with electric vehicle charging points. The programme is open to Local Authorities and National Park Authorities. For further information please see the following link: Finance | Business Wales (gov.wales)
