The government is advancing its efforts to establish future transport regulations with a focus on zero emission vehicles.
Following a recent consultation, the Department for Transport plans to update local transport plans.
This involves integrating local electric vehicle (EV) charging strategies and providing charging points by local transport authorities (LTAs).
The government also seeks the authority to issue directives to LTAs for this purpose.
Additionally, there will be continuous monitoring and evaluation of charging infrastructure in non-residential car parks, with a commitment to reviewing legislative powers if they are deemed insufficient.
Further consultations may explore lease interactions if such powers are pursued.
