proposals, the main elements of which are that:

the Automated

chargepoints sold in Great Britain must be smart and meet minimum
device-level requirements
- we will continue with a phased approach to smart charging
legislation and aim to consult on proposals for phase 2
legislation in 2022
- we intend to take forward further work to explore whether
private chargepoint location and energy data should be shared
