Huge growth in numbers of charge points year on year, so a huge well done to all the CPO’s that have achieved so much! Numbers like this are great to see, but I do wonder if the simple stats on number of chargers is an effective way of explaining what’s been achieved (and what is ongoing as the networks continue to scale)…this represents a massive increase in the installed capacity of EV chargers and with it, an even bigger increase in the number of vehicles that can be charged. We need to find a way to explain what this progress means to drivers who (often as a result of negative coverage in the media) are concerned about a lack of chargers. Very interested in suggestions on how this data can be reframed to cut through. ChargeUK #statistics #evcharging #evinfrastructure #ev #electricvehicles

EV charging infrastructure is increasing throughout the UK. Useful article from Transport + Energy giving some interesting data points on on street charging (37%), destination charging (46%) of all charging devices. This is intriguing as it demonstrates the choices on display for EV drivers are very different to ICE, and EV's increasing disruptive change to the the traditional Petrol Forecourt Model. Forecourts will have chargers but there will be significantly more options to charge elsewhere. We cant get ignore the fact that most cars are parked for more than 95% of the day, with ICE vehicles its nearly impossible to bring fuel to the parked vehicle and hence the need for conveniently located Petrol forecourts. However in an EV world its much easier to bring electricity to the car park location and it doesn't matter in most locations for it to be low cost slow charging as the vehicle is parked for 95% of the time. Does this signal the death of the Charging forecourt business model..... At VEV we're using real world data and uses case to help large fleets decide how to charge without the downtime for the longer charging time, as well as avoiding the huge costs at public charging networks, this is much tougher for high mileage users and heavier vehicles but all of our data points to prioritizing your own depot location (or a shared one) first, it will be cheaper, more reliable and for most is a no brainer.

Analysis / articles like this are not helpful I can't argue with the very basic 'analysis' of the current installation rate of public charge points means that we will miss the government target of 300,000 by 2030 It's this type of article that will then get picked up at some point by the mainstream media and used as further evidence of issues in the transition to EV and reinforces the wider public perception / understanding "A recent survey found that over half of UK drivers cited a lack of available chargepoints as an issue preventing them from making the switch. " However, within the industry it is widely recognised that the 300,000 was an arbitrary number that seems to have no science behind it. The focus on 300,000 ignores the millions of home chargers that we will have by 2030 - if you can charge at home then most people will rarely use the public infrastructure. The development of 'cross pavement' charging solutions such as Kerbo Charge will further increase the number of home chargers for those without off-street parking. The largely untapped potential from Community Charging or 'near to base' being pioneered by Co Charger again massively increases the opportunity / ease of use for those without off-street parking It also ignores the impact that will come from electrifying a proportion of the 4m workplace charge points. If you can't charge at home but commute a couple of times a week to work and can reliably charge there then, again, most people will rarely use the public network Referring to the 'UK’s sluggish pace on installing EV charging infrastructure' just reinforces the general poor perception of the public network which is growing faster than ever before. According to Zapmap figures, 54% of the current infrastructure has been installed since the beginning of 2022 and 39% since the beginning of 2023 (i.e. 39% has been installed in the last 18 months!) If we only ever talk about the negatives then we're never going to get the mainstream round to the idea that actually for most people (once an EV falls within their budget) then they could live with it very easily #ev #evs #electricvehicles #electriccars Melanie Shufflebotham Paul Kirby Sara Sloman Adrian Keen InstaVolt Ian Johnston Osprey Charging Network Chris Jackson ⚡ Sam Clarke ⚡ GRIDSERVE Volkswagen Financial Services (UK)Volkswagen Financial Services | Fleet Paul Ayres Connected Kerb Joel Teague John Curtis 🚗 ⚡️Jordan Marsden ubitricity Fastned PoGo Charge IONITY Asif Ghafoor Be.EV Michael Goulden Ben Whitaker Motor Fuel Group RAW Charging Natasha Fry Alex Hinchcliffe Mer James Ash bp pulse

With the popularization of electric vehicles, the construction of charging infrastructure will play a crucial role in the sustainable development of electric vehicles. The coverage of #charging stations directly affects the acceptance level of users towards electric vehicles. Although electricity may not be the sole alternative energy source for cars in the coming years, it is essential to establish and improve local electric vehicle #infrastructure as soon as possible.   Recently, the Staffordshire County Council announced that it is collaborating with four other local government authorities in the Midlands to develop an electric vehicle charging network. The UK Department for Transport has provided £4.6 million in funding to the council to increase the number of local charging points. Currently, Staffordshire has 428 electric vehicle charging points, but the council believes that the county will need over 5000 charging points by 2030. #power #electricalengineering #electric #EV #vehicle #renewableenergy #renewablepower #sustainability #environment #product #innovation #development #waterproof #chargingpile

New public charge point installed every 25 minutes! A new analysis from Charge UK reveals there are nearly 930,000 public, home, and work chargers supporting 1.1 million fully electric vehicles. The number of charge points has more than doubled in the past two years, with a new public charge point installed every 25 minutes in the last quarter, outpacing the growth of new EVs. If this trend continues, the UK is projected to have over 300,000 public chargers by 2030, according to a National Infrastructure Commission report. #EVcharging #EVNetwork

✨ NEW BLOG: EV charging infrastructure will hold back EV demand, slowing net zero transition SMF transport lead Gideon Salutin breaks down motorists concerns about chargepoints, which will be crucial to address for Labour's aim to push EV sales mandate to 100% by 2030. Labour’s pre-election chargepoint policy provides many positive signals, BUT 4 key questions remain for the most rapid EV increase in history to be effectively executed: 1️⃣ How many chargers? 2️⃣ How fast should our chargers be? 3️⃣ What connectors do we need? 4️⃣ How can we better manage information?

A report has revealed “electric vehicle public charging deserts across the UK.” 🚗 ⚡ ⚠ The data has shown that three-quarters of households that park cars on the street do not have a charger within a five-minute walk. The analysis also found 9.3million households do not have off-street parking where they could install a charger. On a positive note, ChargeUK has suggested that the private sector is confident it can meet a target set by the previous Conservative government of 300,000 public charge points by 2030. It is crucial that organisations developing and installing #EV charging infrastructure have the right technical support to get them connected to the grid fast to meet this ambitious target. At Aurora Utilities Limited we are proud to be at the forefront of this national expansion, helping developers charge ahead.

The UK Government will continue to deliver its £381m Local Electric Vehicle fund to councils, which can choose the location of EV chargepoints. Following the approval of the first five local authority applications in February, the government is funding 44 additional councils worth over £185m to support the delivery of thousands of EV chargepoints across England. The local authorities that have already been allocated to the second round of LEVI funding will be able to apply to the fund from 2 April 2024. Technology and Decarbonisation Minister, Anthony Browne, said: “This government has a plan to help speed up the installation of EV chargepoints, which we’re getting on and delivering.” https://lnkd.in/eEWKkE7s #electricvehicles #evcharging #evcharginginfrastructure #uk #governmentinitiatives #evs #chargepoint

ElectricDrives reports on big EV charging funding news out of the UK, today, as more government finance is made available for local authorities: part of the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. This £185 million tranche of funding, from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, should add a few thousand charging points to the UK’s network of around 56,983 public chargepoints, a figure which has increased by 47% since this time last year. Hopefully, the new cash will convince even more UK drivers to switch to EVs. We'll have a special side event, on the deployment of LEVI funding, at this year's UK EV SUMMIT, 15 / 16 July. This will provide a deep dive into the funding, with learnings from local authorities, and be a key source of insights for Charge Point Operators (CPOs). #evs #emobility #electricvehicles #sustainability
