Charger companies installed 5,100 public charge points in the first half of 2026, bringing the UK total to 121,171, a 10% year-on-year increase compared with growth rates above 40% in 2024. The government targets 300,000 public chargers by 2030, while the number of EVs on UK roads exceeded 2m in April. A 37% year-on-year rise in ultra-rapid chargers drove much of the new deployment, policy uncertainty around the ZEV mandate has investor hesitancy, and the L E V I scheme is starting to deliver on-street chargers. InstaVolt acquired GeniePoint, signalling consolidation.
