Energy networks comment on Labour's plans for an 'electric vehicle revolution'

25 March 2021

Shadow business secretary, Ed Miliband MP, will today outline plans to accelerate the roll-out of electric vehicle charging points across the country.

 

Randolph Brazier, Director of Innovation and Electricity Systems at Energy Networks Association, which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks businesses said:

“Electricity network operators are ready to support both customers and a green economic recovery by laying the foundations of an electric vehicle revolution. Investing in electricity networks now and making sure that charging points are smart will empower customers, keep their costs down and make the networks even more flexible and efficient.”
