This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Provide full grants to encourage landlords to install electric vehicle chargers
Purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) is a green choice, and is currently supported by government subsidies. However, rented accommodation rarely includes access to an EV charger - making EV ownership impractical.
More details
The Government should incentivise residential landlords by covering the costs of installing electric vehicle chargers, helping more people to make a greener choice.
