<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

</p><p>The Government expects around 300,000 public electric vehicle chargepoints
by 2030, as set out in the electric vehicle infrastructure strategy. 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>
