UK wants each new house to have a car charging point At last some forward thinking A new government proposal included in Road to Zero, a report on climate-change related policies, would require all new homes to be fitted with electric car charging points. It follows a commitment made last year by the UK to end sales of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2040. A government spokesman said that it was the intention that all new homes, where appropriate, should have a charge point available. "We plan to consult as soon as possible on introducing a requirement for charge point infrastructure for new dwellings in England." To help achieve that goal, the UK will reportedly establish a £400 million ($531 million) fund for companies that manufacture and install charging stations. The government is also reportedly looking at integrating charging stations with newly-installed streetlights, as well as wireless-charging technology. A new Automated and Electric Vehicles bill will also give the government power to mandate installation of charging infrastructure at highway service stations. https://fudzilla.com/news/automotive...charging-point |
