| Total Number of Charging Devices in the UK, year ending: | Total Number of Charging Devices in York, year ending: | ||||
October 2021 | October 2020 | % change | October 2021 | October 2020 | % change | |
Total Public Devices | 25,927 | 19,487 | 33 | 86 | 73 | 18 |

Workplace Charging Device Sockets2 | 19,054 | 11,224 | 70 | 62 | 41 | 51 |
- Rapid charging devices are those whose fastest connector is rated 25kW and above.
- Data on both private charging domestic and workplace devices comes from three Office for Zero Emission Vehicle (OZEV) grant schemes: the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) for businesses; the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) and its predecessor, the Domestic Recharge Scheme (DRS) for private domestic charging devices. The workplace chargepoints listed are exclusively for staff or fleet use. There will be a significant number of private domestic or workplace charging devices that have been installed without funding from OZEV. These are not captured in this data.
