This consultation is about the access that EV chargepoint operators (CPOs) have to the highway when performing street works. EV CPOs are responsible for the installation of EV charging apparatus on the public road network
The government’s Plan for Drivers (October 2023) supports zero-emission driving by boosting EV chargepoint infrastructure and consulting on faster approvals for installations. EV chargepoint operators' highway access during street works is under review. With ambitious net-zero goals by 2050.
This consultation document presents a proposal for EV CPOs to be brought into the street works permitting regime, as most currently need to apply for a section 50 licence.
