An Automated and Electric Vehicles Act has been passed in Parliament as a means of improving air quality, cutting congestion, improving road safety and to create thousands of jobs across the UK.
The AEV Act will see improvement in electric charge point availability. Governments will now be able to ensure motorway services are upgraded charging points and enable mayors to request installations at large fuel retailers in their areas.
“The UK is becoming a world leader in the roll-out of low-emission transport,” said roads minister Jesse Norman,” and the government is steadily updating our laws in order to prepare for the future.”
“This act will ensure that the UK’s infrastructure and insurance system is ready for the biggest transport revolution in a century.”
