Analysis reveals UK has only 15% of the charging points it needs to meet net zero – AA comments

Commenting on analysis by the Labour Party regarding the number of chargepoints to meet net zero, Edmund King, AA president, said; “To speed up the electric vehicle revolution there is a long standing debate as to what comes first; the cars or the chargepoints?

“The reality is we need both to happen at the same time, with particular focus on the 30 to 40% of homeowners that have no access to dedicated off-street parking.

“As well as making vehicles more affordable and increasing the number of public chargepoints, we need to ensure the cost of charging remains competitive. Drivers will switch to electric cars with incentives and provided recharging costs remain cheaper than filling up with petrol or diesel.”
