UK has electric car charging ‘black holes’, warns the AA, as 40% of households could be left behind in the transition to EVs
“As these latest statistics show, we’ll be funding thousands more chargepoints across the country – adding to the thousands that are already installed – to help drivers become even more confident in making the switch to electric vehicles.”
A spokeperson for Ubitricity, which specialises in installing chargers into existing roadside furniture , said to Autocar: “We aim to install 50,000 on-street chargers in the UK by the end of 2025, as we believe convenient, near home, EV charging needs to be available to all. “Unless there is faster growth of on-street chargers, those without driveways or private parking are essentially locked out of the move to more sustainable transport.
“The UK government acknowledges this need, however the process of local councils selecting EV charging network suppliers and enabling them to implement on-street infrastructure needs to be accelerated.” According to data from EV charging app Zap-Map, there were 33,281 public charge points in the UK at the end of July. It estimates there are an additional 400,000 private chargers installed at homes and workplaces across the UK.in the number of public charge points by 2030, courtesy of a £1.6bn investment. Most of this sum has been earmarked for the installation of 6000 rapid charging points across the UK’s motorway network.
