Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an estimate of the number of electric vehicle charging points there will be in each year from 2025 to 2030.

The 2022 EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy (UK electric vehicle infrastructure strategy - GOV.UK) set out forecasts of consumer demand for public chargepoints. These projections indicated that between 280,000 and 720,000 might be needed by 2030.

As of the 1 November there were over 71,000 public charging devices in the UK (Developing faster indicators of transport activity - GOV.UK). Between October 2023 and October 2024 the number of public charging devices grew by 42%.
