Industry leaders say Boris Johnson’s plan risks leaving behind motorists from poorer areas
The prime minister’s plan to mandate electric car chargers across all new homes from next year risks making access to charge points “exclusive”, leaving behind motorists from poorer areas, industry leaders have warned.
Senior voices in the energy and motoring sectors said the plan for all new homes and buildings to be fitted with car charging infrastructure risks benefiting wealthier areas with space for off-street parking and leaving “blackspots” in areas where homes have less space.
