The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021

This regulation was laid under the ‘Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018’. These regulations aim to embed smart functionality within chargepoints across "private" settings such as homes and workplaces. Secondly these regulations ensure that smart chargepoints meet minimum device-level requirements to mitigate the potential risks posed by smart charging, such as cyber security. Once enforced, a person must not sell, offer or advertise for sale in Great Britain, a chargepoint that does not meet these requirements.
