I missed this. It’s had a few mentions here but thought I’d attempt to summarise. Legislation comes into force 24 Nov 2023 (lots of staged implementation dates) and covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Abbreviated summary:
From 24 Nov 2023 (in 2 weeks)
By 24 Nov 2024
By 20 Nov 2025
Penalty up to £10k per charge point for non- compliance. [Let’s be realistic here. It’s a maximum, it has to first be enforced, not remedied or appealed etc.]
There isn’t anything on AC vs DC metering. Maybe they think this is already adequately regulated. Nothing on OCPP ‘plug & charge’ maybe one for the next iteration of regs. Appreciate you’ve got to walk before you can run.
Happy for anyone to correct any of the above.
Maybe consultations do work and the .gov does listen?
Abbreviated summary:
From 24 Nov 2023 (in 2 weeks)
- Price transparency: pence per kWh either on the charge point or through a separate device. Total price for charging an electric vehicle may not increase once charging has commenced. [Good to know that the price you pay won’t go up at peak times mid- charge].
- 24h helpline prominently displayed on or near the charge point.
By 24 Nov 2024
- Contactless payments for public 50kW+ [Would include Superchargers open to non-Teslas]
- 99% reliability obligation for networks of rapid charge points.
- Reliability reporting.
By 20 Nov 2025
- Charge point operators must provide ‘Roaming’ access. [YES!! ….Electroverse gets a helping hand….This might apply to Tesla too as I don’t think this is limited to public charge points which could be an interesting dimension]

The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023
These Regulations are made using powers in the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 (c. 18). They impose certain requirements on charge point operators that operate public charge points.
