Both MacMaster and Geoff are agreed on the fact that while EV’s can be great cars, the nationwide charging situation is pathetic, or in their words “absolute Sh*t !!!!!! If you need to make regular longer journeys including charging stops, then even with careful planning you can easily come unstuck. Local use should be far less problematic.
Agree, the infrastructure lets it down badly on longer journeys.
There are 51,516 charging devices (79,564 cnnectors) in the UK as of October 2023. Out of those there are 9,627 rapid (25-99kW) and ultra-rapid (100kW+) charging devices, which account for around 20% of all chargers. Ultra -rapid account for around 8% of the total number of charger available in the UK and are mainly centred around motorways.
