Just under 17% of all new cars registered in the UK over the course of 2022 were fully electric, and the first 6 months of the year saw more EVs registered than over the whole of 2020. Despite this, late December and early January saw a raft of negative headlines around EVs. Much of this discourse centered on concerns around the UK’s public EV charging network.

Misinformation around new, disruptive green technology has long been rife and is often propagated by those who stand to lose the most from the transition to a cleaner economy.

The UK added another 1,721 public EV chargers nationally in Q2 of 2022. As of 1st July, the Department for Transport reports that the UK has 32,011 public chargers. But, as local councils start to take an increasingly active role in installing new charge points, some areas are starting to see huge increases in the number of local charge points.
