Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Question

Data on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK, held by the Department for Transport, is sourced from those installed or funded under government approved grant schemes, operated by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zap-Map. Charging devices not supplied via these schemes or recorded on Zap-Map are not included and the true number of charging devices may be higher than recorded in these figures.

The below table provides the data requested, for the years available for the United Kingdom as at 01 January 2023;

Table notes:
