All motorway services to have super-fast EV charging points within 3 years

All motorway services stations in England will have a minimum of six super-fast EV charging points by 2023, under a new government “vision”.

The ambitious roll-out was announced as part of the Government’s efforts to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by improving infrastructure on England’s major roads.

Under the plan, 2,500 new ultra-rapid chargers with outputs between 150kW and 350kW will be installed along motorways and A roads by 2030 as part of a previously announced £500 million investment in charging infrastructure.

At the moment there are 809 open-access rapid (50kW) along England’s motorway and A road network, with an average of two rapid chargers at each motorway service station. The new plan would see this increase to at least six ultra-fast points at each site by 2023, with larger facilities having up to 12.
