Council EV chargepoints could reach 50,000 by 2027
New data from Confused.com has revealed that over 50,000 council-owned public electric vehicle (EV) chargers are expected to be spread across the UK over the next two years. There are currently 28,734 council-owned public chargers, with Confused.com predicting that an additional 24,687 chargers are expected to be installed by 2027.
According to the Society of Motoring Manufacturers (SMMT), there is currently one council-owned public charger per 36 EV drivers in the UK.
Although access is set to improve, EV drivers also seem to face bigger issues. Almost one in two (45 per cent) experience issues like long wait times or chargers being occupied, while 38 per cent have dealt with slow charging speeds.
Others report difficulties with payment systems (35 per cent) and being booked by non-EV vehicles or cars not charging in bays (31 per cent).
This research, carried out by OnePoll between 24th and 25th June 2025, used a sample of 2,000 UK drivers, and serves to inform consumers whether or not they should purchase an electric car.
