There Are Calls For The UK's Electric Vehicle Charging Regulator To Take Drastic Measures

The automobile industry in the United Kingdom is pushing for immediate action to ensure that all drivers have access to public EV charging stations.

A new seven-point plan aims to make charging electric vehicles affordable, accessible, and available to everyone. The proposed new independent regulator would be in charge of ensuring that objectives are met.

It comes as data shows that the number of public EV charging stations has increased by 69.8% between 2019 and 2021. During the same time period, however, the number of battery electric automobiles on the road climbed by an astonishing 586.8%.

The charger rollout has received positive feedback from the industry. It claims that the total number of public charging stations has surged by 3,000 percent since 2011.

However, the rapid growth of electric vehicles has resulted in a disparity in charging access across the country. In 2021, the north of England had a ratio of 1:52 electric cars to public chargers, compared to 1:30 in the south.

One of the functions of an independent regulator would be to treat regions fairly. It might be called 'Ofcharge' (Office of Charging), and it would be in charge of monitoring the market and ensuring that all regions are prepared for 2030.
