UK has almost 1m EV chargers, with new public one installed every 25 minutes

In little more than a decade, the UK’s charging sector has grown to become a major player in the green economy, providing the infrastructure that more than a million EV drivers rely on today and scaling fast to deliver the charging needed through to 2030 and beyond.

There were 930,000 UK chargers at the end of June, according to ChargeUK, a lobby group, but the majority of these have been installed in homes and business premises, with only about 65,000 public chargers available.

Public chargers range from ultra-rapids at motorway services to slow chargers on lamp-posts.

There are 1.1 million electric vehicles on UK roads.
