Here comes the big headline – “Best EV charging network in the world” says Transport Minister Trudy Harrison.

The UK government is set to release their national strategy for the UK charging network this Friday (March 25) – this comes as electric vehicle sales are set to boom in the coming years. The national strategy will ensure there are enough charging points to match the growing number of electric vehicles on UK roads.

There are nearly 30,000 public electric vehicle charging points in the UK, with 600 new charging points added every month. The Transport Minister has said, “In the future, there will be chargers installed in every new home, office, and supermarket, allowing people to charge while they sleep, work and shop.” This is great news for those looking to buy an electric vehicle in the future and those who already own one.

“Meeting the needs of future drivers means pushing those numbers higher. We’ll harness ingenuity by working with industry, charge point and energy providers, and local governments to ensure that we keep that momentum. It will be a combined effort to make charging convenient and commonplace” the Transport Minister continues.
