Are we nearly there yet? 2025 Update
Resource
Summary
Much has changed in the 12 months since the publication of ‘Are we nearly there yet?’ 2024. The international and national landscape has been altered, in some cases significantly, by political, economic, social and legislative events. But the principles laid out in ‘AWNTY’ (as it has become known) have remained the same.
Getting the right chargepoint of the right power into the right place at the right price remains an essential part of delivering cleaner and greener travel for the millions of drivers and businesses that rely on cars and vans.
This report looks at how near home and journey charging has changed since better metrics to measure the delivery of public EV infrastructure were proposed in September 2024.
Key Points
- Near home charging index: supply is a 1.5 years ahead of demand nationally and coverage is growing – significant regional disparities remain.
- Journey charging index: supply is six years ahead of demand, but gaps remain on some major roads.
- Destination charging ratio: nationally comprehensive data is still lacking but car park operators can apply a simple equation to determine what EVI they need for their situation.
