The UK’s public charging infrastructure has grown 22% year on year, with Zapmap reporting 86,798 public charging points at the end of October 2025.
Monthly updates and analysis from Zapmap shows the UK’s electric vehicle (EV) public charging infrastructure is continually growing and changing shape to meet the needs of EV drivers, covering a broad range of use cases. This alongside more than one million charge points installed at home or work where the majority of charging still takes place.
At the end of October 2025, there were 86,798 public EV charging points across the UK, across 44,142 charging locations, 115,092 EVSE and 121,268 connectors.
Last month, 777 net new charging devices were added to the Zapmap database.
The four speeds or power ratings that are tracked are defined as Slow (3-7kW), Fast (8-49kW), Rapid (50-149kW) and Ultra-rapid (150kW+). These new bandings reflect those referenced in the government's new Public Charge Point Regulations.
The number of public charge points in the UK has grown from 28,460 at the end of 2021 to 53,865 at the end of 2023 and more than 73,000 by the end of 2024. Since October 2024, the public network has grown by 22%.
