Ginny Buckley, the chief executive of dedicated EV website Electrifying.com, said the total number of public EV charging sockets make for welcome reading but fails to consider the existing postcode lottery electric car owners face.
'Westminster has more chargers than five major northern cities combined,' Ginny told us. 'Not a single area in the UK’s top ten charging hotspots is in the North, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
'Drivers don’t charge nationally, they charge locally. The real test isn’t whether there are more plugs than pumps on paper, it is whether every driver, wherever they live, can charge easily and with confidence.'
