We've published new year-end figures for EV charge point installations in 2023.
Record growth in the number of ultra-rapid chargers and high-power charging hubs opening across the country to support EV drivers on longer journeys is the defining characteristic of the year.
But other pieces of the puzzle – from?encouraging growth in low-powered, on-street chargers?through to the regional distribution of high-powered devices – can also be seen in the data.
What's more, the figures show year-on-year growth of 45% in the total number of net new public chargers installed in the UK during 2023. The figure is up from the 31% growth seen in the previous 12-month period. ?
