Five reflections after an excellent two days at The UK Charging Infrastructure Symposium last week: 1) The U.K. is tracking well on the exponential growth target of 300,000 public EV charging stations by 2030, up 42% YOY, but the curve is getting steeper 2) There are now over 70 Charge Point Operators (CPOs) in the U.K. with over 40 of them signed up as members of ChargeUK. Some degree of natural market consolidation is expected in the coming years 3) ChargeUK also shared an estimate that there are approximately 930,000 chargers across all domains in the U.K., trending almost 1:1 with the circa 1m externally-chargeable pure BEVs now on U.K. roads 4) LEVI (Local EV Infrastructure) funding has been spent and has been well received, however for many it has been a painful process. The additional £200m pledged in the latest U.K. Budget remains quite vague in its intention. 5) Much work continues around vehicle-to-grid technology, led by Innovate UK to support its uptake. Sciurus and Octopus Powerloop trials saved participants approximately £420 and £840 respectively, albeit the former took place during COVID-19. It was a pleasure to present market content and broader context from S&P Global Mobility's global datasets covering #EV Production, Vehicles in Operation, #Supplychain and #technology.

EV chargepoint installations skyrocket by over a third... 🚀 Zapmap has released new data showing significant growth in public chargepoint deployments in the first quarter of this year. Highlights: ⚡ By March 2024, a total of 59,590 chargepoints are up and running publicly, marking a whopping 47% increase since March 2023. ⚡ The first quarter of 2024 alone saw the installation of over 5,500 chargepoints, averaging 1,900+ per month. That's a 35% spike compared to the 2023 monthly average of 1,400 installations. These are certainly exciting times as more chargepoints pop up nationwide, encouraging more drivers to make the switch to #electric...

As we work on finalising the Sophus3 EV Index for the latest quarter, this insightful piece from Transport & Environment (T&E) has caught our attention. The analysis fits exactly with our own observations that it is not a lack of public charging infrastructure that is the primary deal breaker for electric vehicle acquisition that many claim it to be. T&E’s study shows that charger roll out has kept pace with the expansion of the European EV fleet, and last year, even outstripped it. The most pressing challenge as we see it, is the differential in pricing between EVs and their fossil-fueled equivalents. Until that is tackled by the appearance of genuinely affordable EVs—or generous incentives—then the urgently needed transition to electric will remain stuck in low gear. The EV Index 2024 Q1 will be published next week, be sure to follow Sophus3 to receive notifications and future insights. #automotivemarketing #digitalmarketing #EVIndex #ev #electricvehicle #tesla

👏Positive progress in the UK’s electrification roadmap. The Department for Transport’s latest quarterly statistics for electric vehicle (EV) public charging infrastructure – show an increase of 49% in the number of devices installed (19,520 devices) since April last year. However worries about charging CX still remains an issue for new EV buyers (but is it really?). Hence why we putting such a focus on helping brands build a stronger vehicle ecosystem - strategy, design, tech, data. #electricvehicles #evs #sustainablemobility

In just a year, the number of public electric vehicle charging points in the UK has risen by 45%, to 61,232 and counting!🔋📈 Zapmap predicts that we’re likely to hit 100,000 charging devices in the UK as early as August 2025. ⚡ With more EVs on the roads (1.1 million to be exact), it’s essential that the UK has a robust network of public EV charging stations, so that drivers can get from A to B wherever they are. At EVC we’re on a mission to provide the largest roll-out of fully funded EV charge points, creating access for all across a nationwide network. 🔌 Got a site that you think could do with EV charging?
