9. Infrastructure – Current status
o 1,500 bids for 7kw chargepoints on public sector sites
o 400 chargepoints (7kw or 22kw) in train stations
o 5,000+ domestic grants claimed
o 5,700+ chargepoints through the 8 PIP projects by Dec 2013
o 67% publicly accessible
National Schemes
Plugged-in Places
Privately funded…
o Over 5,000 chargepoints…
The UK will have the best rapid chargepoint network in Europe by next year

10. National chargepoint registry
http://www.zap-map.com/
o All Government funded chargepoints must be registered
o Privately funded chargepoints encouraged to register
o Database made available to companies to create software – e.g. Zap map

11. Tax incentives
o Vehicle Excise Duty – Exemption for <100g Co2 / km
o Fuel Duty – 0 for BEVs

15. The Chancellor’s EV readiness scheme
“<the Government will> invest £5 million during 2014-15 in a large scale electric vehicle-readiness programme for public sector fleets. The programme aims to promote the adoption of ultra-low emission vehicles, demonstrating clear leadership by the public sector to encourage future wide spread acceptance” George Osborne, Autumn Statement 2013
