Our response 

Please find our answers to each question, in turn, below:

  1. To date, Transport for London (TfL), a statutory body of the GLA, has installed 300 rapid and ultra-rapid charge points across the TfL Road Network. We do not hold data on the dates which these charge points were installed. You may wish to send a further request to TfL at [email protected]
  2. We do not hold this data, you may wish to contact TfL directly regarding this.
  3. As above. 
  4. As above.
  5. The Mayor and TfL published their Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy in December 2021. 
  6. Yes, the GLA has a dedicated policy officer working on electric vehicle charging  infrastructure. 
  7. Not relevant for the GLA. Please contact the London boroughs directly who are responsible for leading on ORCS applications.
  8. The GLA is not a local authority, but rather the strategic body overseeing Greater London policy. I would therefore recommend that you contact each London borough directly who will be able to assist you with your request.
