Electric Vehicle ownership is rising and households with no off-street parking will be reliant on access to public EV charging. So, how good is that access?
Explore the data behind our On-Street Charging Report down to a local authority boundary in this interactive map.
Our new report reveals advancements in local authorities’ provision of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for households without off-street parking.
Our scenario shows that if all the cars and vans in Great Britain were converted to electric power overnight, the power demand would be 71 TWh per year, with 22 TWh attributed to on-street households who would most likely be dependent on the public network.
Our scenario suggests we’ll need 8x more charging power by 2035.
Our report shows that only 4.5% of vehicles were driven over 15,000 miles in 2021.
When we break that down further, 57% of vehicles travel less than 100 miles per week. 87% of vehicles travel less than 200 miles per week.
Our new report demonstrates inconsistencies in local authorities’ EV charging approach and highlights concerns for “On-Street” households.
Despite growth in electric vehicle charging infrastructure over the past 2 years, a new report demonstrates inconsistencies in approach and outcomes between local authorities, and highlights concerns for “On-Street” households, which account for 35% of all households in Great Britain.
Our research shows that 90% of households in Great Britain that will rely on public charging for EVs are not within close walking distance of a charger.
Charger sites have been historically been focussed on early adopter needs, unnecessarily increasing the cost of provision for local authorities and reducing access for those residents who need public charging…
As the EV sector continues to evolve at pace, it’s becoming clear that a structured approach to the provision of EV charging infrastructure is needed.
With such a broad spectrum of driver needs to consider, conurbation zoning could be used by local authorities to form the basis of an EV charging strategy that balances the needs of its residents with attractive commercial partnerships.
