To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to support renters with electric vehicles whose landlords refuse to install electric vehicle charging points.
Keir Mather
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government recognises the difficulties that people renting or leasing properties can sometimes face when looking to install chargepoints.
In October 2025, the Government announced that it will consult on ways to ensure more people have an ability to charge. This includes removing barriers to those in rented and leasehold properties. We continue to incentivise renters, leaseholders, and landlords to install charging infrastructure through our domestic chargepoint grants and, additionally, new build residential properties have been required to install a chargepoint since June 2022.
