The Welsh Government is not doing enough to promote and develop the use of electric vehicles, says a new report on the future of road building and infrastructure in Wales. The report, launched by FSB Wales, found Wales was lagging behind when it came to the transition to electric vehicles (EV) and recommended that the Welsh Government revisit its EV strategy.
It added that the lack of progress in EV charging infrastructure by the Welsh Government was “worrying” and that small businesses looking to transition to EV needed clear timelines, support and certainty that their investment was not going to disadvantage them.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "Wales already has more public chargers per vehicle than other parts of the UK. We’re working hard to further increase the scale and pace of this rollout, supporting local authorities to meet local charging requirements and working with the UK Government to expand the charging network in Wales."
