Compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights Part 2: Electric vehicles: Charging Real-time and other information about public charging and refuelling points
Section 13 confers power on the Secretary of State to make regulations which require operators to provide open data in an open source format on the geographical location and live availability of charging and refuelling infrastructure and services. This may interfere with the carrying on of business activities by an operator.
	Currently, there is a lack of conformity in the data that is provided about the availability and location of charge points. The Government’s aim is to ensure the availability of reliable and comprehensive open source data on public charge points and refuelling stations, such as the location and access method, which could improve the offer to the consumer. On this basis, any interference with A1P1 rights would be a proportionate means of achieving these aims.
