Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Be.EV, discusses why the UK is failing to build enough EV charging points and what steps need to be taken to reach the government\u2019s targets by 2030 and ensure our EV infrastructure network is fit for purpose.<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s an exciting time to be involved with EV charging infrastructure. The pace of the installation of charging points has been increasing rapidly over the last few years – according to ZapMap<\/a>, installations were 45% higher last year than in 2022.<\/p>\n

Despite Rishi Sunak\u2019s environmental policy purge, the zero-emissions vehicles (ZEV) mandate<\/a> still suggests that 80% of UK car sales will be electric by 2030, meaning demand for new chargers isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the problem? Whilst the pace of installation has increased, we still only have roughly 53,000 public chargers<\/a>. Assuming the Government\u2019s target of 300,000 public chargers by 2030 is achievable (whether this is the case is a discussion for another day), the rate of building will need to increase dramatically.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a stark divide between the number of chargers installed in London and the rest of the country. This is combined with a short-sighted reliance on deploying government grants to install \u2018slow\u2019 lamppost chargers. For those who don\u2019t know, a lamppost charger can take up to 14 hours to charge a car fully, while an ultra-paid charger can do this in less than 30 minutes. This means that even if we reach the magic 300,000 mark by 2030, we\u2019ll have an EV infrastructure network that isn\u2019t fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this doesn\u2019t have to be our EV charging fate. We can turn this around to create infrastructure that could be the envy of the world, but several changes will need to happen.<\/p>\n

Get rid of the red tape<\/h3>\n

In order to get closer to the government\u2019s 2030 targets, we need to install 110 EV chargers a day compared to the current rate of 40 a day. The main problem causing the holdup is the amount of legislation and misguided public funding.<\/p>\n

For example, the Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund can grant each council \u00a31m to build new EV charging infrastructure, but the bureaucracy in the public sector means that councils sit on this money for years at a time before employing consultants to tell them that it\u2019s only enough money for about 5% of their charging needs. Schemes like these have been implemented with good intentions but have created a mess – slowing down the rollout, not hastening it.<\/p>\n

Instead of getting in the way, I believe the Government should give councils mandatory requirements to have a certain number of different types of chargers and let the private sector handle it. We in the private sector have the experience to know the common problems people face when putting chargers in and the expertise to put the right infrastructure in the right places; we just need less friction.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t just put EV chargers anywhere<\/h3>\n

If I had a pound for every time someone made plans to install chargers in an area that didn\u2019t have enough power, I\u2019d probably have enough money to build 300,000 EV chargers myself! Unfortunately, the reality we face is that the UK grid is outdated, so there\u2019s only so much power to go around. There is more than enough power to reach the Government\u2019s target, but we need to be more strategic about where we place chargers.<\/p>\n

We also need to pay more attention to where this power comes from; if the power for an EV charger comes from fossil fuels, then this defeats the whole environmental argument behind the electric transition. Fortunately, it is possible to trace exactly where your power comes from, so it\u2019s imperative that chargers are also put in places where you can guarantee that green energy is being used to top up EVs.<\/p>\n

Finally, we need to address the huge disparity between the number of chargers in London and elsewhere in the UK – there are currently more chargers inside the M25 than the rest of the nation combined. If we want a network that\u2019s fit for purpose – one that doesn\u2019t fuel concerns about \u2018range anxiety\u2019 \u2013 we must consider the forgotten regions. Everyone in the UK should have easy access to EV charging, not just those in city centres.<\/p>\n

Say no to lampposts<\/h3>\n

Councils all too often take the quick and easy option of installing \u2018fast\u2019 lamppost chargers as they are cheaper to install. It\u2019s an easy way of getting a headline, but it\u2019s short-sighted. Contrary to the name suggests, these chargers are very slow, resulting in one person taking up the charger for hours at a time. On top of this, they\u2019ll need to be replaced in a few years, either because they\u2019re broken or because vehicle batteries have improved to the point where \u2018fast\u2019 chargers are obsolete.<\/p>\n

To make a sustainable infrastructure that works for everyone, we should build community hubs on public and private land consisting of rapid and ultra-rapid chargers where drivers can get up to 80% charge in as little as half an hour. This way, more people can conveniently incorporate a quick charge into their daily routine. Putting these hubs near shops, or even putting shops in these hubs, can also create jobs and provide a boost to the local economy.<\/p>\n

Our mindset needs to change when it comes to EV charging. We need less red tape from power network owners and more public-private partnerships like the ones we built with North West councils.\u00a0 All is not lost, and the UK can have an EV network which is the envy of the world \u2013 provided we remove the unnecessary bureaucracy, pay more attention to where we place our chargers and create community hubs where the end drivers are part of the decision making, we can make a network that fits the needs of everyone in the UK. Who doesn\u2019t want that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
