The Welsh Government is investing £15m to increase the number of electric vehicle charging points across the country.
The funding, confirmed by Deputy Climate Change Minister Lee Waters, will be used to help local authorities increase the number of charging facilities ahead of the manufacture of fossil fuel vehicles being phased out in 2030.
It follows £26m invested in charging infrastructure across Wales since 2021 which has created more than 1,600 charging points – enough for one in six battery electric vehicles. However, the Welsh Conservatives described the funding as "meagre" with electric vehicle charging point infrastructure in Wales falling behind that in England
