We agree that local authorities should have plans in place to strategically deploy this infrastructure. This will mean that they are prepared and can get the best out of private sector investment and provide the best possible networks to residents and visitors alike. In the English devolution White Paper, we set an expectation for all local transport authorities to develop an electric vehicle charge point strategy, which should include the car club model referred to in the debate. Officials are currently reviewing guidance for local transport authorities on local transport plans, and we are expecting to publish updated guidance later this year.
