Notes
- DfT's headline measure since 2026, official statistics in development, from data charge point operators report under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, collated by Zapmap for DfT.
- One operator withdrew about 1,270 private chargers wrongly listed as public in June 2026, which affects comparisons with April 2026. Population from ONS mid-2024 estimates.
