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.

In 2021, the north of England had a ratio of 1:52 electric cars to public chargers, compared to 1:30 in the south.

Military vehicles appeared to be crossing the bridge to leave Crimea in footage shown on official television. Western leaders, on the other hand, are apprehensive, with Nato stating there are no signs of a de-escalation yet. "On the contrary," said Secretary-G
