But Heidi Alexander would not confirm whether it would give grants to encourage motorists to switch when asked by Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, following a report in the Telegraph, external that Labour is poised to unveil £700m in subsidies.

Isn't this the very thing they need to be incentivising? Switching from ICE to EV vehicles?

For people without off-street parking - like those living in blocks of flats or terraced houses - charging an EV overnight can often be challenging, while on-street charging points can be far more expensive than charging from a mains socket.

What about offering people without a drive but with an EV some kind of discount when using public chargers?
