All new homes and offices will feature electric car chargers under new laws designed to address fears over a shortage of plug-in points.
The government confirmed today that legislation would be introduced before next year that would require the installation of charging points on all new-build properties in England.
The legislation, billed as the first of its kind in the world, will also require all chargers to be “smart” devices that will ensure batteries can be replenished without overloading the grid. This includes promoting the use of charging overnight. The rules are expected to come into force next year.
Hmmm... methinks that implies that every new build property has at least one off-road parking space?
