The Road to Zero strategy, announced at the start of this week, proposed a £400m fund to facilitate the roll-out of more charging points for electric vehicles.
The Department for Transport also said it would provide £500 for electric vehicle owners to put in a charge point in their home.
Additionally, £40m will be provided to support technologies for on-street and wireless charging technology.
The strategy takes forward funding allocations were initially proposed in the government’s industrial strategy.
Transport secretary Chris Grayling said: “The Road to Zero strategy sets out a clear path for Britain to be a world leader in the zero emissions revolution – ensuring that the UK has cleaner air, a better environment and a stronger community.”
The strategy’s goal is for at least 50% of new car sales to be ultra low emission by 2030.
