New homes and blocks of flats could be required to have electric car plugs

All new homes and blocks of flats in the United Kingdom could be required to have electric car charging points installed as part of a £400million scheme to boost the use of battery-powered vehicles.

Under plans to be unveiled by the Government today, new lampposts on roads with on-street parking will also have built-in charging points.

U.K Transport Secretary Chris Grayling claims the proposals are the most significant for road transport since the invention of the petrol car in 1886, and will ensure drivers of electric cars ‘find it easier to recharge their vehicles than motorists today who have to visit a filling station’.

Mr Grayling is due to say: ‘We want the UK to become the best country in the world in which to develop and manufacture zero-emission vehicles.according to a DailyMail report.
The £400million investment fund – half of which will come from the Government and the rest from private investors – includes a £40million programme to develop low-cost wireless charging technology which will allow drivers to power up batteries without having to plug them in.
