Why the UK’s EV charging infrastructure rollout has slowed down
Summary
Versinetic focuses the report on charging and reveals how shortages in components, EV experts and skills are slowing progress. To that end, Brussels and individual member states are pouring millions into incentivising car owners to switch to electric. It is estimated that at the current rate of growth only one quarter (76,849) of the public charging points needed to meet expected demand (325,000) will be installed by 2032. Dunstan Power, Director of Versinetic, explained: “Even with funding and enthusiasm, as part of the EV community, we have a hard job ahead of us, and only through innovation and collaboration, will we overcome these challenges. In this report, we investigate the key shortcomings that will affect the rollout of EVs and, in particular, charging infrastructure and how the public sector and industry are working together to ensure that we meet the 2030 deadline.” Component shortages: While automakers ramped up EV production in 2021, especially in Europe and North America, both they and charge post manufacturers have disclosed how the worldwide shortage of computer chips has weighed on results and production.
