The UK now boasts more than 100,000 public EV charge points, a figure that has been achieved just over a month after hitting the 75,000 milestone.
According to Octopus Electroverse’s latest Charging Infrastructure Insights, a new public charger was installed every 13 minutes over the past six months, putting the UK firmly on course to meet the Government’s target of 300,000 charge points by the end of the decade – provided that pace persists, of course.
What’s more, rapid and ultra-rapid devices, which are capable of adding hundreds of miles of range in around 20 minutes, are expanding the fastest and now account for nearly a quarter (24%) of the public network.
While the EV infrastructure surges ahead, traditional refuelling options continue to shrink; the UK currently has around 8,300 petrol stations – a number that has been declining for years.
