How many charge points are there in the UK?

With over 118k EV chargers as of 2026, the UK’s EV charging infrastructure grows every day. But our focus is less on absolute numbers and more on availability, ensuring that drivers have access to the right type of charge point - slow, fast or rapid - when and where they need it, right across the UK. With the network growing at an exponential rate, our members are listening carefully to what drivers need - and that is what we are delivering. We are confident we are building a world class charging infrastructure to support the transition to EVs.
