UK launches £63M plan to boost EV adoption, including home charging for those without driveways.

The UK government is rolling out a £63 million plan to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including a £25 million scheme to help those without driveways charge their EVs at home via cables run beneath pavements. This initiative aims to reduce EV charging costs to as little as 2p per mile, saving drivers up to £1,500 annually compared to petrol or diesel cars. The plan also includes improved signage for charging stations and investments in public and NHS EV fleets. Additionally, new rules remove the need for planning permission for home EV charging installations, aiming to ease the transition to electric vehicles.
