On 13 December 2018, the Department for Transport (DfT) released its 2017 charge point analysis. This covers experimental statistics on the usage of domestic, local authority rapid and public sector fast charge points, funded by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).
This Chart of the week combines three statistical releases to show the total number of charging events and total median average energy supplied (MWh) per hour of the day for 2017.

Electric vehicle (EV) uptake and public charge point installs have increased rapidly over the last few years, but to support the next wave of EV drivers, the public charging network needs to be improved. Government has outlined the leading role it expects from local authorities (LAs) in planning and delivering...
Commercial and market outlook
Electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly becoming more popular in Australia, with new car sales increased during the last two years. Although Australia is behind in EV deployment compared to other countries, Federal and state governments have taken serious steps to accelerate EV uptake. Therefore, EVs could play a significant role...
E-mobility and low carbon
The energy crisis is hitting vehicle running costs for both electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. In this week's 'Chart of the Week', we focus on World EV Day by taking a look at one of the areas we have been tracking – public charging – and...
E-mobility and low carbon
For electric vehicle (EV) owners wanting to use the public charging network, there are a range of membership and pricing structures available across the different charge point operators (CPOs) across the UK. Rising costs have been an all-too common headline over 2022, and in this 'Chart of the week', we...
E-mobility and low carbon
The last few weeks have seen several policy documents and consultation responses from the government published in the electric vehicle (EV) world, against the back-drop of record-breaking EV sales. In this 'Chart of the week', we explore the latest consultation conclusion from the Department for Transport (DfT), outlining proposals on...
E-mobility and low carbon
Energy retail has been dominated by high wholesale prices across the last year. 2022 so far has seen wholesale energy prices continue their upward momentum, with average day-ahead power prices in January 2022 125% higher than January 2021. In this Chart of the Week, we look at the impact of...
E-mobility and low carbon
Last week the government published its Net Zero Strategy, detailing plans to introduce a zero-emission vehicle mandate alongside targeted plug-in vehicle grants. In assessing electric vehicle (EV) uptake, we explore the latest vehicle registration data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), published at the start of October....
E-mobility and low carbon
Last month the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published its final report on its market study into electric vehicle (EV) charging in the UK. It raised concerns about charge point deployment at motorways, remote locations and on-street locations, stating that access to suitable charging can be a “postcode lottery” and...
