GREEN MEANS GO DfT RELEASES ELECTRIC VEHICLE
On 30 April the DfT released stat- istics on the number of publicly available electric vehicle charging devices in the UK for Jan-March 2024. Data is provided by the EV and charging point platform Zapmap. As of 1 April 2024, there were 59,670 public EV charging devices instal- led in the UK, within which: Charging Speed: • 11,590 had 50kW of power or above = 19% of all charging devices
PUBLIC CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE STATISTICS by 5,993 = increase of 11%
• there was an increase in the number of public charging devices in all regions of the UK
Compared to 1 April 2023: • total installed devices increased by 19,520 = an increase of 49%
• 35,339 had a power rating of 3kW up to 8kW = 59% of all charging devices Location: • 27,583 were designated as ‘destination’ chargers = 46% of all charging devices
• 22,199 were designated as ‘on street’ chargers = 37% of all charging devices
Compared to 1 January 2024: • total installed devices increased
Across all speeds, there is an uneven geographical distribution of charging devices within the UK. Some UK councils have bid for government funding for charging devices, and others haven’t. Most provision of this infrastructure has been market-led, with individual charging networks and businesses choosing where to install devices. London and Scotland had the highest level of charging provision per 100,000 of population, with 221 and 93 devices per 100,000 res- pectively. In comparison, the aver- age provision was 89 per 100,000. Northern Ireland had the lowest level of charging device provision in
the UK, with 29 devices per 100,000, followed by the North West and Yorkshire and Humber, each with 53 devices per 100,000. Meanwhile, the variation in 50kW and above device provision shows that Scotland had the highest rate of 50kW and above device provision at 24.2 charging devices rated 50kW and above per 100,000, whilst the average provision in the UK was 17.3 per 100,000. 50kW and above charging device provision was lowest for Northern Ireland with seven charging devices rated 50kW and above per 100,000. London was the second lowest region with 13 charging devices rated 50kW and above per 100,000. The maps below show the geographic variation in charging devices at 1 April 2024, with the number of devices labelled on each area of the map corresponding to a UK region or country.
