EV charging infrastructure continues to grow

The latest Zapmap data shows there have been 3,928 new charge points installed in the third quarter of 2025, meaning there are 86,021 devices at 43,507 locations, a year-on-year increase of 22 per cent.

Ultra-rapid devices, delivering charging speeds of 150kW and above, continue to show the highest growth; there are now 9,290 chargers in this power band, 51 per cent more than in September 2024. There are currently 663 charging hubs across the country (defined as six or more rapid or ultra-rapid devices at a single location) with 212 of them installed over the past 12 months. 

Simultaneously, Zapmap’s statistics show progress in the regional  distribution of high-powered chargers this year: of particular note, the North West has seen 38 per cent year-on-year growth in high-powered chargers, followed by Yorkshire and the Humber, at 33 per cent.  Across all power bands, the South-East and Wales showed the highest year-on-year  growth, at just over and just under 26 per cent respectively.
