Market Summary
The UK’s public electric vehicle charging market has crossed an important threshold. What was once a fragmented patchwork of pilot and local schemes has transitioned into a national infrastructure. By March 2026, there were 119,080 public EV chargers; however, this is still substantially short of the government’s 2030 target of 300,000. The number of home chargers has also grown significantly in recent years, with almost 1.4 million installed by 2025.
While the market experienced a noticeable slowdown in growth during 2025, the overall outlook remains positive. This is driven by the ongoing adoption of EVs, continued government support, and investor interest. Demand is robust across various segments, including residential charging (both off-street and on-street), destination chargers (retail, leisure, and workplaces), and ultra‑rapid en‑route chargers.
