EV charges added across british motorway services

Since early 2024, 200 ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) chargers have been added at motorway services across England. These chargers provide 150kW or more, allowing fast charging for EV drivers. This is a big increase, 51% more than before, according to Zapmap and the RAC.

Now, 48% of England's motorway services have six or more of these powerful chargers. Some locations even offer faster chargers with speeds up to 350kW. In total, 595 ultra-rapid chargers are available for the UK's 1.17 million EV drivers, helping them charge quickly on long trips.

In 2022, the UK government aimed to have six or more chargers at every motorway service by the end of 2023. Currently, 61 motorway services have met this goal. Some sites, like Reading M4, Cobham M25, and Gloucester M5, have more than 12 chargers. The Frankley southbound services on the M5 lead with 28 chargers.

On average, motorway services in England have seven high-powered chargers. Some locations still need upgrades, but plans are in place to add more chargers in the future. New charging hubs, like those at Gatwick Airport and Banbury, also offer extra fast-charging options for EV drivers.
