Electric vehicle charging infrastructure statistics
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure statistics, including publicly available devices and grants provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).
Latest electric vehicle charging infrastructure statistics
This series presents official statistics in development on the number of publicly available electric vehicle charging devices and rapid charging devices in the UK, broken down by local authority. From April 2020, figures are updated and published quarterly.
Data are sourced from the electric vehicle and charging point platform Zapmap.
As part of our on-going efforts to assure quality of our statistics, we identified a potential issue with the data for our publication ‘Electric vehicle public charging infrastructure statistics’, which had been scheduled for 30 October 2024 affecting the total number of charging devices in Scotland. To ensure we continue to meet the high standards of our official statistics products, we temporarily paused the release of that publication while we investigated this further.
Through work with our data supplier Zapmap, we have narrowed this down to a single chargepoint operator’s data feed affecting a small number of devices in Scotland. Firstly, the data erroneously included a small number of fleet devices and secondly, the method for calculating the total count of devices has changed for this operator. Overall, these discrepancies still account for less than 0.4% of the total number of UK charging devices.
We will resume publication of ‘Electric vehicle public charging infrastructure statistics’ in February 2025.
An interactive map of this data is also available.
Previous electric vehicle charging device statistics are available.
Latest electric vehicle charging device grant scheme statistics
This series presents official statistics in development on the number of grants awarded for the installation of electric vehicle charging devices in the UK which are funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). From May 2020, figures are updated and published quarterly.
Data are sourced from administrative data and is used for operational purposes, with their statistical use secondary.
