Our response
Please find our answers to each question, in turn, below:
- 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]
- We do not hold this data, you may wish to contact TfL directly regarding this.
- As above.
- As above.
- The Mayor and TfL published their Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy in December 2021.
- Yes, the GLA has a dedicated policy officer working on electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
- Not relevant for the GLA. Please contact the London boroughs directly who are responsible for leading on ORCS applications.
- 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.
