Currently reading: SMMT calls for regulated EV charge point mandate
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has proposed a seven-point plan and a regulatory body

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has called for improved regulations to ‘level up’ the electric car charging network for drivers. 

The trade body has formulated a seven-point plan aimed at making sure every driver in Britain is able to benefit from the country’s charging infrastructure.

Proposals include developing a nationally co-ordinated but locally delivered infrastructure scheme, increased investment into public charging, future-proofing the network and embedding “customer centricity”.  

The SMMT says the plan has been designed to “drive collaboration between government, industry and all other stakeholders”, and has also called for an independent regulator to be introduced.
