EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWS BY 29%
The number of chargers installed has increased by a third compared to last year, as the expansion of the EV charging network helps pave the way for a greener, more connected UK.
Zapmap has published new figures showing strong growth in the country’s EV charging network in the first quarter of 2025.
A total of 3,141 new charge points were installed between January and March, pushing the national total to 76,840 – a year-on-year increase of 29%.
Charging hubs, defined as sites with six or more rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, remain the fastest-growing segment.
Forty-nine new hubs were added in Q1, bringing the UK total to 586.
These hubs are proving popular with EV drivers undertaking longer journeys and point towards the future of electric mobility, with rapid charging, integration of renewables and improved amenities.
This continued expansion of the EV charging network is a key step towards making electric travel more accessible, convenient, and sustainable across the UK.
The rise in charging infrastructure reflects growing confidence in electric vehicles and ongoing investment in clean transport solutions.
As the network continues to expand, it is expected to support the UK’s transition to net zero and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
