The UK's public charging infrastructure grew 19 percent year-on-year, but the industry says government support isn't scaling fast enough to match EV adoption rates. It's the infrastructure version of the same problem we've seen before: build the cars, forget about the ecosystem. Without faster deployment, you're looking at urban charging saturation while rural routes stay dead zones.

Volvo's new EX60 midsize electric SUV hits 400 miles EPA range and debuts the brand's 800-volt charging architecture, finally bringing Volvo's EV strategy into competitive territory. The 800V platform matters more than the range number—it's the infrastructure play that lets Volvo keep pace with Porsche's Taycan and BMW's i4. Whether this actually moves the needle on Volvo's EV sales remains the real question.
