The great British road trip is being reimagined for the electric age, with new figures revealing that the UK now has nearly twice as many public EV chargers as petrol pumps – even if most drivers don’t realise it yet.
More than 118,000 public charge points are now available nationwide compared with around 60,800 fuel pumps, according to new data released alongside the government-backed Electric Road Trip campaign. Yet 71 per cent of adults surveyed still believe the opposite is true, underlining just how far perception lags behind reality.
