The Netherlands is held up, rightly, as everything Britain should aspire to be on electric vehicle charging. A country of barely 18 million people has built a network of more than 210,000 public chargers. Amsterdam alone has 17.4 chargers for every thousand inhabitants.
In Greater London - the best-served city in the United Kingdom - the figure is 2.9. Amsterdam has six times more charging infrastructure per head than the capital of a country that has staked its industrial future on the electric vehicle transition by 2030.
