Drivers in England are set to benefit from a £63 million government investment designed to improve electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and bring down charging costs. It’s all part of the wider Plan for Change to make EV ownership more affordable and accessible.
£25 Million for Easier At-Home Charging—Even Without a Driveway
A major part of this plan is a £25 million initiative helping local councils support cheaper at-home charging, especially for people without private driveways. Here’s what’s changing:
- Save up to £1,500 a year compared to running a petrol or diesel car.
- Cheaper electricity rates—as little as 2p per mile.
- Innovative cross-pavement cable technology lets households run charging cables safely under the pavement, connecting their EV to home power without being a hazard to pedestrians.
You can contact companies like Kerbo to arrange the installation. They will do everything for you, from arranging the permission from the Council to installing the cable gulley.
