Risk of ‘serious injustice’ in EV chargepoint rollout, MPs warns

The Commons Public Accounts Committee warned that 43% of electric vehicle chargepoints are in London and the South East, while just 15% are in rural areas, raising concerns about regional divides.
The Commons Public Accounts Committee report highlighted that many chargepoints are inaccessible for disabled drivers, noting that no chargepoints in the UK meet accessibility standards.
The Department for Transport stated that its local EV charging scheme is meant to address the uneven spread, despite delays in project approvals.
Vicky Read, chief executive of ChargeUK, emphasized the need for faster charger rollouts in underserved areas and called on the government to remove barriers to deployment.
