Department for Transport written question – answered at on 8 March 2021.
Lord Birt
Crossbench
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to bring forward regulations to require operators of electric vehicle charging points to make their services interoperable with other charging networks in order to allow drivers to use any membership card at a charging point.
Baroness Vere of Norbiton
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government is committed to ensuring consumers have reliable access to a comprehensive vehicle charging network so that they can easily and conveniently charge their cars. The Government is currently consulting on using its powers under the Automated Electric Vehicles Act to mandate minimum requirements, including requiring chargepoint operators to make their services interoperable with other charging networks, to improve the experience of consumers when using a public chargepoint. We will continue to support industry and consumers to make the switch to cleaner vehicles. We will publish a clear delivery plan in 2021.
