New government legislation will announce that all new homes and buildings will be required to install electric vehicle charge points from next year. The government states that ‘England will lead the world to mandate such building regulations, kicking off a decade of delivery in hundreds of thousands of charge points while creating further green jobs across the country’. Up to 145,000 extra charge points will be installed across England each year, in the run up to 2030 when the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will end in the UK.
