UK hits electric vehicle charge point milestone
The UK now has 75,675 electric vehicle (EV) charge points available on the public network, according to new figures from Zapmap.
The total represents a 32% year-on-year increase compared to February 2024, when 57,290 devices were reported.
Operated by Ionity, the 75,000th public charge point is one of eight ultra-rapid and four rapid devices installed at the Village Hotel, Bristol.
Zapmap says that the milestone reflects the encouraging growth of the country’s charge point infrastructure.
Last year saw a record rate of charge point installation with particularly strong growth in the ultra-rapid segment (150kW+), which has seen an increase of 74% in installations since the end of February 2024.
