Vauxhall\u2019s boss points to a wide disparity in charger coverage between UK regions outside London<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The UK needs to \u201cup the pace\u201d of its charging infrastructure roll-out and \u201cdo more outside of London\u201d, if households without driveways are not to be left behind in the transition to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the verdict of Vauxhall managing director James Taylor, commenting on the latest government statistics that show the number of on-street electric car chargers has increased by 69 per cent over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good signal, but we\u2019re still at the beginning of the journey,\u201d says Taylor. \u201c4,094 new installations is a start, but next year it is forecast there will be hundreds of thousands more new EVs being registered to comply with the Vehicles Emissions Trading Scheme – we are making progress, but more is needed to match demand.\u201d<\/p>\n
