Click the thumbs up >Ofgem – the Government’s energy regulator – has announced a £300 million funding package for 200-plus net-zero schemes over the next two years.
The investment recognises that Britain’s cables, substations and other infrastructure need a massive upgrade to support this new demand for electricity as more people swap their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for electric power.
Ofgem says that 39 motorway service areas and key trunk roads in England, Scotland and Wales, will get the cabling they need to install 1,800 new ultra-rapid charge points, tripling the current network.
A further 1,750 charge points will be supported in towns and cities.
