Are there enough electric vehicle charging points where you live in the south-east?
ITV News Meridian's Tom Savvides explores whether there are enough electric vehicle charging points.
In five years' time, the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned.
The Government has committed to a deadline of 2030 for all new vehicles to be electric.
But the provision of EV, electric vehicle, charging points, shows huge disparities in the south-east.
In parts of south Essex, like Castle Point, there are just three charging points per one hundred thousand people.
In Rother, Sussex, that covers Hastings, Bexhill and Rye, there are thirty points per hundred thousand.
Tunbridge Wells is little better at 38.
Compare that with Folkestone, where there are 132 charging points and in Brighton with 163 per one hundred thousand people.
The figures are from the Department for Transport.
The National Audit Office is urging the Government to focus on providing more public charging points before sales of new petrol and diesel cars are banned in 2030.

A spokesperson from Kent County Council said: "Last month, KCC successfully gained over £12 million of funding to build the infrastructure that will provide on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging bays across Kent.
"We’re estimating that this could add an additional 10,000 EV sockets in Kent, adding to the current 955 in the county.
"Like with any new infrastructure on our roads, the chargers won't appear overnight, but we are doing our bit to meet demand. The delivery of the programme is set to begin next year, and we are now in the process of appointing a charge point operator partner to install and operate the network of charge points over the next ten years."
The number of public electric vehicle (EV) charging points in Brighton & Hove is set to dramatically increase, thanks to a successful funding bid.
A £2.8 million government grant will allow 500 EV charging points to be installed every year for the next 3 years.
New contracts, to be awarded in 2025, will also offer more choice and flexible tariffs, including off-peak rates and access to more than 2,000 charging points.
