According to a clear new warning from industry groups in the UK, there is a need to increase the number of electric vehicle charging points by 10 times in the UK.
A new report calls for a step change in the rollout of publicly accessible electric car charging infrastructure ahead of the sales ban. new gasoline and diesel cars by 2030. The report, ‘How to meet the UK’s electric vehicle charging needs by 2030’, was published by infrastructure expert Connected Curb with participation from financial authorities, foundations, and institutions. infrastructure, energy, local government and EV companies that charge a fee, as well as charities Motor.
The report’s results indicate that easily accessible public chargers should be installed on most residential streets in the country. Research shows that 8 out of 10 motorists need a reliable and affordable home charger to convince them to go electric.
This is especially important for drivers with disabilities, the majority of whom do not have private parking, the report found. It also suggests that the widespread availability of lower-tech, lower-cost 7kW “slow” chargers could be a better way to address the shortcomings of the UK’s charging infrastructure, than is to install a small number of more powerful fast chargers.
The warning comes at a time when electric car sales are booming – up 154 per cent in February – but as the UK car charging point rate is falling. The UK’s rate of 16 chargers per EV is lower than countries including South Korea (3:1), the Netherlands (5:1) and France (10:1).
Connected Curb believes that new long-term methods of funding new charging infrastructure will be increasingly important for widespread EV charger deployment, Connected Curb believes, which the company is expected to sign the contract. VND for 30,000 new chargers this year as part of a goal to deploy 190,000 sets by 2030.
“The industry is moving from early adopters, tolerant of patchy performance, to a mass market of mainstream drivers expecting performance,” said Chris Pateman-Jones, chief executive officer of Connected Curb. consistently high performance”.
“This requires a radical mindset shift between local and local governments, investors, developers and toll point providers.”
