This response to the recommendations of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) market study into electric vehicle (EV) charging in the UK, published in July 2021, announces the publication of the EV infrastructure strategy.

The CMA makes 8 recommendations covering:

• how to develop a competitive sector while attracting private investment to help the sector grow
• meeting the scale of the overall challenge by delivering an ambitious national strategy and ensuring the electricity system supports rollout
• unlocking competition along motorways and targeting funding at gaps in remote areas
• boosting investment and maximising competition in on-street charging, making it easier for people to charge EVs
