据Petrol Plaza 9月17日报道，英国政府宣布了超过5亿英镑的绿色技术投资。英国财政部已经启动了一个4亿英镑的基金来支持英国的电动汽车充电基础设施，其中第一个7000万英镑用于3000个充电点——这一数字是英国全国充电点数量的两倍多，总数将达到5000个。

英国已经拥有欧洲最大的电动汽车充电网络之一，这项投资将通过安装最先进的技术来改善网络。目前正在进行一项审查，以探索在主要道路网络上提供充电点，这意味着司机可以在停车喝咖啡的同时给汽车充电。

这项投资补充了15亿英镑的支持，以促进电动汽车的普及，使更清洁的汽车更易于大家所用，这是政府到2040年结束汽油和柴油汽车销售计划的一部分。

此外，政府还宣布将拨款3150万英镑，用于研究消除大气中温室气体的前沿技术;拨款2200万英镑，用于研究新型空气污染物，并将其对公众健康的影响降至最低。

UK: Over ￡400m investment in EV charging infrastructure

The UK Government announced more than half a billion pounds of investment in green technologies. The Treasury has launched a ￡400 million fund to bolster Britain’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure, with the first ￡70 million allocated for 3000 charge points – more than doubling the number across the UK to 5,000.

The UK already has one of the largest electric vehicle charging networks in Europe, and this investment will improve the network by installing state-of-the-art technology. A review is currently underway to explore the provision of charge points across major road networks, meaning drivers could charge their car whilst stopping for a coffee at a service station.

This investment complements ￡1.5 billion support to boost the uptake of electric vehicles and make cleaner vehicles more accessible to everyone. This is part of the Government’s ambition to end the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040.

A ￡31.5 million for research into pioneering technologies to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere was also announced, and ￡22 million to research new kinds of air pollutants and minimise their effects on public health.
