Health Secretary Wes Streeting faced calls last night to ditch the 'absurd' Net Zero strategy to electrify all UK ambulances within 15 years.

The cash-strapped NHS is preparing to abandon all its diesel ambulances and set up almost 5,000 charging points at healthcare facilities and ambulance stations to power a fleet of electric-powered vehicles.

Health chiefs have actually refused to expose how much the new ambulances will cost, but official figures seen by the Mail on Sunday expose it will cost ₤ 100million just to upgrade the grid and electrical facilities required for charging points.

The MoS can also reveal there are presently just two electric-powered ambulances picking up travelers in England - compared with more than 4,500 diesel ambulances.

There are 160 other electrical emergency cars for paramedics, consisting of two cars and trucks, 16 action vans and 3 motorbikes.

The newest electrical ambulances have a series of as much as 200 miles, but paramedic crews in backwoods frequently take a trip even more in a shift.

Latest figures show the typical reaction time in England for the most dangerous 'category-one' ambulance calls is seven minutes and 52 seconds - compared with an NHS target of seven minutes.

Last night Nick Timothy MP, former chief of personnel to ex-prime minister Theresa May, stated: have actually been having a hard time to satisfy their action targets. With these difficulties it is unreasonable to distract NHS employees from their jobs with unrealistic Net Zero targets.

'Time, preparation and expense are entering into purchasing electric vehicles and constructing battery chargers - a lot of which will never be set up - rather of improving reaction times.

'Much more worrying is the challenge of updating the grid in time to fulfill the extra need.

'This is yet another case of environment policy racing ahead of innovation with shocking outcomes for clients and taxpayers.'

England's very first electric ambulance began operating in the West Midlands in 2020. Another eight will be delivered this year to be utilized in urban locations such as Birmingham.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said: 'Seventy percent of our location is mainly rural and this continues to be the most significant consider our relocate to electrical - having the range to operate in areas where automobiles can do 200 miles-plus in a shift.'

East of England Ambulance Service has actually been trialling 3 electrical ambulances since 2023, but has actually not used them to transport passengers. Another 8 will be provided to the service this year.
