UK hits 60,000 electric car charging points as rate of installation continues to rise We've published new statistics on charge point installations across the UK. The new figures show that the country has surpassed 60,000 public charging points. Operated by char.gy, the 60,000th charging device was installed on Natal Road, a residential street in Streatham, London. Ideally placed for electric car drivers in Streatham to charge up overnight, the 60,000th charging device reflects the encouraging growth of the country’s charge point infrastructure. Indeed, the timing of the milestone illustrates a significant acceleration in the rate of charge point installation over recent years. April’s 60,000 charge point milestone follows hot on the heels of the 50,000 mark, which the UK surpassed in October 2023. In this case, the milestone installation was part of the MFG EV Power network, at a service station in Weston-super-Mare. In addition, the new figures from Zapmap reveal that the overall rate of installation in the first four months of 2024 has increased by almost 37% compared with the average across 2023. The first four months of the year have seen an average of more than 1,900 devices installed every month, up from the 2023 average of 1,400 per month. While the latest charge point milestone is undoubtedly an encouraging development, the  60,000 figure comprises a number of different types of chargers. Designed for a range of needs, these devices cover en-route charging for longer journeys, charging provision at destinations, as well as lower-powered charge points on residential streets for drivers unable to charge at home. April’s milestone has been driven by particularly strong growth in two key areas of the country’s charge point infrastructure. For instance, Zapmap’s statistics show that the number of ultra-rapid devices – designed for en-route charging - has increased by 135% since April 2023. There are now 4,988 of these devices across the country. Over the same time period, the number of low-powered devices on residential streets, used primarily for overnight charging, has increased by more than 54%. Charge point operator char.gy, which installed the 60,000th device, is just one such operator contributing to this growth. The company recently announced the installation of its 3,000th public charging point, with new charge points going live at a rate of around 400 per month. Melanie Shufflebotham, Co-founder & COO at Zapmap, said: “Hitting 60,000 public charging devices is an extremely significant milestone for electric car drivers across the country. “This is really just the crest of the wave. There’s a real momentum behind the increased rate of charge point installations up and down the country. and more on the link https://lnkd.in/dmC3id7t

This growth in UK is encouraging, combinaison of Power HYB and Smart Stations can help to strenghten this growth

Breaking EV Charging Infrastructure Fragmentation: Delve into the transformative power of EV Roaming via a Hub, offering unparalleled integration with public charging infrastructure. Is a roaming hub the solution to common EV infrastructure concerns? Explore how eMSPs and CPOs can join ChargeHub in scaling massive EV adoption: https://lnkd.in/esYe8Jsw

#EVRoaming via a Hub Is Needed to Achieve EV Adoption at Scale 🌐 With tens of thousands of fleets, hundreds of retailers, dozens of automakers and over 100 (and growing) charging network operators throughout the US and Canada, Passport Hub is becoming an absolute must to enable seamless access to #publiccharging at scale and support the massive EV adoption required to meet our ambitious decarbonization goals. 🌅 Most charging networks simply don't have the bandwidth to connect to each #eMSP individually and cannot spend all their time and resources building new solutions from scratch, defining individual legal & business agreements, and maintaining ongoing individual accounting reconciliation with every partner. ⌛
