To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made a recent estimate of the number of rapid chargers for electric vehicles publicly available at motorway service stations in England.

There are currently more than 400 open access (can be used with any electric vehicle), rapid (50kW+) chargepoints at MSAs across England. Over 200 of these are ultra-rapid chargepoints (150kW+), which can deliver around 120-145 miles of range in just 15 minutes for a typical electric vehicle, compared to around 45 minutes for a rapid (50kW) chargepoint.
