Zingaphezu kwe-1,000 izindawo zokushaja izimoto zikagesi ezizofakwa ezindaweni eziseNgilandi njengengxenye yohlelo olubanzi lwama-£450 wezigidi. Ngokusebenzisana nezimboni kanye neziphathimandla zomphakathi eziyisishiyagalolunye, uhlelo "lokuhlola" olusekelwa uMnyango Wezokuthutha (i-DfT) luklanyelwe ukusekela "ukuthathwa kwezimoto ezikhishwa i-zero emission" e-UK.
Yize lolu hlelo luzoxhaswa ngemali engu-£20 million wokutshalwa kwezimali, u-£10 million nje walokho ophuma kuhulumeni. Amabhidi okulinga awinile asekelwa enye i-£9 million yoxhaso lwangasese, kanye nama-£2 million avela kuziphathimandla zendawo.
Iziphathimandla zomphakathi ezikhethwe yi-DfT yi-Barnet, i-Kent kanye ne-Suffolk eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-England, kanti u-Dorset nguye yedwa omele eningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-England. I-Durham, iNorth Yorkshire kanye neWarrington yiziphathimandla ezisenyakatho ezikhethiwe, kanti iMidlands Connect neNottinghamshire zimele maphakathi nezwe.
Kwethenjwa ukuthi lolu hlelo luzohlinzeka ingqalasizinda entsha yokushaja imoto kagesi yezohwebo (EV) kubahlali, ngezindawo zokushaja ezisheshayo emgwaqweni kanye nezindawo zokushaja ezinkulu zesitayela sesiteshi sikaphethiloli, ezifana namahabhu eGridserve eNorfolk nase-Essex. Sekukonke, uhulumeni ulindele izindawo zokushaja eziyi-1,000 XNUMX ezophuma ohlelweni lokuhlola.
Uma uhlelo lokuhlola lubonakala luyimpumelelo, uhulumeni uhlela ukunweba lolu hlelo ngokuqhubekayo, athathe yonke imali echithiwe ibe ngu-£450 million. Kodwa-ke, akucaci ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthi uhulumeni uzimisele ukusebenzisa imali efinyelela ku-£450 million noma ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhlangene kukahulumeni, iziphathimandla zasekhaya kanye noxhaso oluzimele luzofinyelela ku-£450 million.
“Sifuna ukwandisa futhi sikhulise inethiwekhi yethu ehamba phambili emhlabeni yama-chargepoints e-EV, sisebenzisana eduze nezimboni nohulumeni wasekhaya, okwenza kube lula nakakhulu ngalabo abangenazo izindlela zokushaja izimoto zabo zikagesi futhi basekele ukushintshela ekuhambeni okuhlanzekile,” kusho ungqongqoshe wezokuthutha uTrudy. Harrison. “Lolu hlelo luzosiza ukukhuphula ingqalasizinda yezimoto zikagesi ezweni lonke, ukuze wonke umuntu ahlomule ezindaweni ezinempilo nomoya ohlanzekile.”
Khonamanjalo, umongameli we-AA u-Edmund King uthe amashaja azoba “wusizo” kulabo abangenawo amaphuzu okushaja emakhaya.
“Kubalulekile ukuthi kulethwe amashaja amaningi asemgwaqweni ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukushintshela ezimotweni ezikhipha umoya oqandayo kulabo abangakhokhi lutho,” usho kanje. “Lo mjovo woxhaso lwemali engu-£20 million uzosiza ukuletha amandla kubashayeli bakagesi kulo lonke elaseNgilandi kusukela eDurham kuya eDorset. Lesi ngesinye isinyathelo esihle emgwaqeni wokufakwa kukagesi.”
