Boris Johnson is set to announce plans that would mean that all new homes will need to have an electric car charging point installed by 2022.

From next year, supermarkets and office blocks among other sites will be required to install electric car chargers to help us phase out petrol and diesel cars.

The government expects that this move will lead to more than 145,000 new charging points each year.

Home chargers are "the cheapest, most convenient and safest way" which is why 80 percent of people do charge their electric cars at home according to RAC.

 

We have put together a list of some of the biggest providers of home electric car chargers including packages that come with Office for Zero Emissions Vehicle (OZEV) grants.
