All home electric car chargers need to be smart from next week - May not 'go far enough'

ALL ELECTRIC car chargepoints will need to adhere to new Government regulations by the end of this month, just days after new laws were introduced.

New Government benchmarks come into effect on June 30, meaning all home and workplace electric car chargers need to have smart charging capability. The new regulations are intended to help manage the strain on the National Grid with thousands of electric cars charging at once.
