UK EV charger boom held back by slow Government funding, says industry

UK's EV Charger Network Hits 87K Units, But Government Funding Can't Keep Pace

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.

Building 87,000 chargers sounds impressive until you realize it's playing catch-up, not getting ahead—and that's how you end up with ownership anxiety instead of ownership freedom.
