There are now 30,290 public EV chargers in operation in the UK - up a whopping 33% year-on-year, but stark regional disparities remain
, injecting £450 million into its dedicated infrastructure strategy fund.
The DfT said this increase has been spread across"all regions of the UK" but noted that there remains"an uneven geographical distribution of charging devices within the UK". When it comes to rapid chargers, the divide is even more stark. Scotland has 13.6 per 100,000, while Northern Ireland has just 1.3. On a more local level, the North West of England has 5.9 per 100,000, while the North East has 9.4.
Last month, there was a 78.7% year-on-year increase in EV registrations, meaning electric cars now have a 16.1% market share.
