Electric vehicle consultations

11 November 2026

The government has released two consultations on changes to electric vehicle (EV) regulations.

A consultation considering options to expand electric vehicle charging access for tenants and leaseholders seeks views on making it easier for residential tenants and leaseholders to install an electric vehicle charge point. 

A consultation considering amendments to the Building Regulations: Part S, concerns the requirements for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in England. This consultation seeks views on changes to Part S, namely:

  • Extending the requirement to install EV charge points to covered car parks.
  • Reviewing the £3,600 cap on installation, considering inflation changes since 2021.

The NHF will be responding on behalf of members before the deadline on 16 December 2026. If you would like to discuss these consultations, please get in touch.
