US EditionNew Car Rule Now in Place with Huge Boost for Electric Cars
- A new UK law effective from May 29 removes the need for planning permission to install private or public electric vehicle charging points on homes and businesses.
- The change aims to cut red tape and boost electric vehicle adoption by making charger installation faster and cheaper for drivers and firms.
- Over 1,300 new charging points were added last month, with more than 7,200 installed so far in 2025 across the UK public network.
- Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood highlighted efforts to reduce bureaucratic hurdles to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, while CEO David Martell described the initiative as a major advancement in driving the UK’s electric vehicle transition.
- This law simplifies installations, unlocking potential yearly savings of up to £1,100 for EV owners and supporting a £2.3 billion government investment to back the sector and create jobs.
