Notes
- DfT's statistics, from data charge point operators report under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, collated by Zapmap for DfT.
- A device can have several connectors. DfT's newer tables count chargers instead, which gives a higher figure, so the two are not comparable. Before October 2023 the faster group was 25kW or above, which is not shown here.
