The government has increased a grant offered to schools to install electric car charging points to £2,500, and said settings could use them to generate revenue.
Under the scheme, schools could previously apply for up to £350 towards the cost of installing charge points.
Today, technology minister Anthony Browne announced the government will now cover up to 75 per cent of the cost of buying and installing the points, up to £2,500 per socket.
Charge points could be used by school staff and visitors, and the government said schools could also “generate revenue by making their chargepoints available to the public”.
