We <\/span>reported in September<\/span><\/a> that the UK was making the installation of EV chargers a prerequisite for newly built homes and offices. But now it\u2019s official, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson formally announcing the initiative<\/a> at the CBI annual conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

From 2022, new homes and buildings such as supermarkets, shopping malls, and workplaces will be required to install electric vehicle charging points. <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, new office blocks will need to install a charge point for every five parking spaces, and the regulations also apply to large scale renovations with over ten parking spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was a strange bumbling speech, as reported by the BBC<\/a>, where the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson lost his place in his notes and referenced a visit to Peppa Pig World. He also made some bold statements: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pivotal moment \u2014 we cannot go on as we are\u201d and \u201cWe have to adapt our economy to the green industrial revolution.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The sale of new petrol and diesel cars will end in Britain in 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

Substantial investment in EV charging <\/span><\/h2>\n

The UK government has funded over 250,000 home and workplace charge points to date, through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 These grants provide a 75% contribution to the cost of one charge point and its installation. The grant cap is $467 (\u00a3350) including VAT per installation. <\/span><\/p>\n

The main requirement is that a person owns, leases, or has ordered a qualifying vehicle and has dedicated off-street parking at their property. A person may apply for two charge points at the same property if they have two qualifying vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if you don\u2019t have off-street parking? <\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/i><\/a>We need a lot more public EV chargers for folks without residential parking.<\/figcaption>
