NEVIS Near Home Charging distribution metric

The below figures show the percentage of households without driveways which are within a 4-minute walk of public chargepoints.

This is a repeat of the map which is on the National EV Insights and Supports website.

Data not available for Northern Ireland.

Pavement Channels

See our pavement channel page for more information on charging at home without a driveway.

The Pavement Channel Grant (England)

86 highway authorities are direct recipients of the Pavement Channel Grant, whereas 67 highway authorities (including the Isles of Scilly) sit under combined authorities to which the grant has been awarded.

The Department for Transport publishes information about the Pavement Channel Grant and allocations.

Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure fund (LEVI, England),
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF, Scotland)
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle Transformation Fund (ULEVTF, Wales)

These government-funded schemes aim to produce a step change in public chargepoint provision. See our page on public chargepoint programmes for more information.

There is no equivalent scheme in Northern Ireland although nine of the eleven councils are in a consortium for the On-Street Charging Scheme with funds from both the UK government and the NI executive.

Current carbon intensity of a kWh of electricity: kg CO2e

Current carbon intensity of a mile's electricity in a car of efficiency 4 miles/kWh: kg CO2e

This compares with tailpipe emissions of a mile's average petrol in a car of efficiency 10 miles/l: 0.207 kg CO2e

So, roughly speaking, a mile in an electric car plugged in right now could have a carbon footprint times smaller than a mile in a petrol car.
