We are calling on the Government to increase funding to: - Help the police investigate and hold criminals accountable, strengthening penalties for those caught vandalising. - Repair and replace damaged infrastructure more quickly (units can be out of service for months).

The UK is pushing for electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but a rising problem is threatening this progress— increased vandalism of EV charging points. Across the country, charging cables are being cut, stolen, or vandalised, leaving EV owners stranded and discouraging others from making the switch. We feel the Government have done little to tackle the issue, which we think allows criminals to act with impunity. EV owners are left stranded when they cannot charge their vehicles.
