A comprehensive and reliable public charging infrastructure is essential for a transformative approach to electric vehicle (EV) usage in the UK. It must have sufficient capacity and coverage to meet the growing demand and enable long-distance journeys, as well as support those who lack off-street parking. While the public infrastructure is improving rapidly, it is currently unable to cope with mass EV adoption.

 

​The UK Government's statement that the country will require a minimum of 300,000 electric vehicle (EV) public charge points by 2030 to meet their ban on the sale of all petrol and diesel Vehicles in the UK, representing a five-fold increase and requiring a £3bn investment, highlights the need for significant advancements in the EV infrastructure. Fortunately, the EV space has experienced rapid progress in recent years, particularly in battery and charging technology. However, implementing these advancements on a massive scale requires organisations with the necessary capabilities and skills.
