answer text <p>Data held by the Department on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK is sourced from those installed or funded under government approved grant schemes, and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zap-Map. Charging devices not supplied via these schemes or recorded on Zap-Map are not included and the true number of charging devices will likely be higher than recorded in these figures.</p><p> </p><p>The below table provides the data available for (i) 2020, (ii) 2021 and (ii) 2022. Figures are correct as at 1 October 2022, except for Zap-Map which are as at 1 February 2023.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Calendar year</p></td><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>2022</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>a.)

The Government will focus intervention on two crucial sectors: high powered chargers on the strategic road network and local on-street charging.</p><p> </p><p>We will accelerate the rollout of high powered chargers on the strategic road network through the Rapid Charging Fund (RCF). The Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund will support local authorities in England to work with industry and transform the availability of local on-street charging.</p><p> </p><p>Table notes:</p><p>- indicates data not collected as grant scheme not running in this time period</p><p> </p><p>1) Zap-Map data counts charging devices publicly available at any given point, with decommissioned chargepoints removed from the data supplied to us. Therefore, the number of installed public chargepoints in each given year is likely to be higher as this accounts for the number decommissioned and removed from the data.</p><p> </p><p>2) The data across these sources and the columns in the table should not be summed to create a total as the public charging device statistics and EVHS statistics count charging devices whereas WCS and EVCG counts charging sockets, making them incompatible to sum together.</p>
