Developers in Britain ordered to rent houses with charges for electric vehicles
On November 22, 2021, it became known that charging stations for electric vehicles will be mandatory for all new homes and businesses in the UK, starting in 2022. This was announced by the local government. The new measure is aimed at stimulating the introduction of electric vehicles in the country by adding up to 145 thousand additional charging points each year. According to the British authorities, the insufficient number of charging stations for electric vehicles is one of the limiters of demand for such transport.
The UK government has already supported the installation of more than 250,000 charging points, so the new rules will increase this number by more than 50% in the first year alone. The law includes buildings such as supermarkets and office buildings. However, the details of the rules, such as the technical characteristics and power of the installations have not yet been published, only the minimum number of seats at the stations is known - 10.
Britain's opposition Labour Party noted that London and the south-eastern part of the country had more charging points than the whole of England and Wales combined. Party officials also said there were no provisions in the law that would make electric cars more accessible to low- and middle-income families.
 | It would mean people would be able to buy new properties already ready for the future of electric vehicles, while charging points would be readily available in new supermarkets and office buildings across the UK, making them as simple and easily accessible as petrol or diesel car refuelling, said UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak. |  |
The UK government is set to ban the sale of fossil fuel vehicles altogether by 2030. In 2020, the UK government announced that it was ready to spend $660 million to create infrastructure in the country for charging electric vehicles. Charging stations are an element of urban infrastructure, providing electricity for charging battery electric vehicles such as electric cars, electric buses, electric scooters, electric scooters, gyro scooters, sigways, e-bikes and more.[1]
