UK's EV Charger Network Hits 87K Units, But Government Funding Can't Keep Pace
"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."
— Revvly Take
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.
