New homes and buildings in England will have to have electric vehicle charge points installed from next year, the Prime Minister has said.
According to the government, the move will result in 145,000 being installed across the country each year. New-build supermarkets and workplaces, and buildings undergoing major renovations, will also come within the new law.
About 10% of cars sold in 2020 were electric, and the Competition and Markets Authority says the country could need 10 times the current 25,000 charge points before 2030.
