c) Any other government or devolved nation funding scheme specifically for EV charging/infrastructure
If providing all years would exceed the appropriate cost limit, please provide figures from as many of the most recent financial years as possible, starting with the most recent financial year. If time allows, please ensure to break this down by the amount received per scheme.
2. Expenditure
For each financial year since 2019/20, how much from each source of funding has been spent by your authority, and on what (for example: chargepoints installed, staff, planning, etc).
If providing full detail would exceed the cost limit, please provide figures from as many of the most recent financial years as possible, starting with the most recent financial year, and the number of chargepoints installed as a result per year.
