The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021

This is an early notice publication of regulations to be laid under the‘Automated and electric vehicles (AEV) act 2018’. The AEV Act gives the UK Government the powers through secondary legislation to mandate that private electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints sold or installed in the UK must have smart functionality and meet minimum device-level requirements. The UK will provide a subsequent notification with draft text, notified under article 2.9.2 with an appropriate comment period, post publication of the Government’s consultation response, expected in June/July 2021 ahead of laying legislation later this year.
