Overview

• Zoopla and Vauxhall have launched a search filter that highlights on-street and driveway EV charging points in property listings for buyers and renters.
• Analysis from Zoopla found that just 1.6% of UK property adverts previously mentioned EV charging availability.
• Vauxhall research indicates that 40% of drivers view proximity to charging infrastructure as a key factor in their next home purchase.
• The Department for Transport has enabled an automatic £1,500 point-of-sale discount on Citroen e-C3, e-C4, e-C5 and e-Berlingo models under the £650 million Electric Car Grant.
• Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the measures will reduce costs for consumers and boost confidence in electric motoring.
