Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many public electric vehicle chargepoints were installed in each year since 2020; and how many have been installed to date in 2025.
The net increase in the number of charging devices in the UK’s public charging network in each year since 2020 is presented in the below table.
Year | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 (up to 1st September) |
Increase in public charging devices | 4,270 | 7,600 | 8,680 | 16,622 | 19,657 | 11,829 |
The figures in this table represent the net increase in the number of public charging devices in the source dataset from year to year. This is the number of devices added to the source data minus the number of devices removed from the source data (e.g. if decommissioned) each year.
