Electric Vehicles (EVs) have a key role to play in decarbonisation and the government is actively supporting the switch. Under the Building Regulations, all new domestic and commercial development must have EV charge points. Moreover, from 2030, there will be a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles. Therefore, further highlighting the need for EV charging facilities.
