The UK plans to introduce new incentives to make it cheaper for people to buy new electric vehicles as the Labour government attempts to phase out the sale of polluting cars.

Speaking on Sunday, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed she will be announcing new measures to boost sales of EVs this week but declined to directly address reports in the Telegraph and the Times that the incentives will include up to £700 million ($948 million) in new subsidies and grants to buyers to help offset costs.

“We will be making it cheaper for those who do want to make the switch to electric vehicles,” she told the BBC in an interview.

As part of those efforts, Alexander’s office on Sunday announced plans to invest £63 million in building charging points at homes and logistics depots around the UK.
