A new driveway rule is in force for houses in England. The Labour Party<\/a> government is planning reforms make it quicker, cheaper and easier to install EV chargers, helping drivers save money while growing the EV network.<\/p>\n

It has announced a major regulatory change aimed at simplifying the installation of EV chargepoints across the country. Removing planning application requirements means EV owners with driveways can install private chargepoints more quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re cutting down on paperwork to power up the EV revolution so that drivers, businesses and those looking to make the switch will have more chargepoints to power from and less red tape to deal with,\u201d says Lilian Greenwood, Future of Roads Minister for the UK Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to make the switch to EVs easier, cheaper and better by investing more than \u00a32.3bn (US$3.1bn) to support drivers and back British carmakers through international trade deals \u2014 creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future as part of our Plan for Change.”<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at Smart Charge knows how important it is to make EV charging simple, reliable and accessible \u2014 both to make transport cleaner and to ensure we\u2019re meeting the everyday needs of drivers throughout the UK,\u201d says Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury\u2019s Chief Property and Procurement Officer and MD of Smart Charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome this new streamlined approach to installing charge points, which will help accelerate the nation\u2019s adoption of EVs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The private installations are predicted to cut upfront administrative costs and streamline access to low-cost home charging.<\/p>\n

For businesses and public facilities, the updated regulations mean faster and more affordable deployment of workplace and public chargers.<\/p>\n

This installation is set to reduce delays, lower costs and help save drivers up to \u00a31,100.<\/p>\n

It comes as more and more motorists switch petrol and diesel cars are switching to EVs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Government is planning reforms make it quicker, cheaper and easier to install EV chargers, helping drivers save money…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5008],"tags":[748,393,4884,8955,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-494902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-midlands-traffic-and-travel","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115364203405049309","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
