What steps has the Welsh Government taken to assist in the roll-out of public electric vehicle chargers at Animal Trust surgery sites in Wales?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 07/11/2022

The Welsh Government provides funding to support the development of publicly accessible charging points in line with our Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Strategy and EV Charging Action Plan. 

Officials have been working with Local Authorities to prepare applications for the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles’ On-Street Residential charging scheme, which will provide funding for the delivery of publicly available 7-22kW charging serving properties without access to home based EV charging. We are also working with Distribution Network Operators in Wales to identify availability of power for charging and promote viable solutions for addressing any constraints where possible.
