Chargepoints in the East Midlands grow by 27% in a year

New data has shown that 760 public chargepoints have been added to the East Midlands charging network since April 2024, that there are now more than 3,600 public chargers in the region, helping EV drivers in the East Midlands get around with the confidence and peace of mind they’re always close to a socket, and with Government investing over £2.3bn with the aim to back British carmakers, power growth and protect jobs as part of the Plan for Change.

Commenting on the stats, Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood said: “We want to make sure that drivers in the East Midlands are always close to an electric vehicle charging device. That’s’ why it’s great to see the number of public charging devices in the region growing by 27% since April last year, taking us to more than 3,600 public charging devices in the East Midlands.

“We’re investing £2.3 billion to help drivers switch to electric vehicles while putting money in the pockets of hardworking people by protecting jobs and backing British carmakers as part of the Plan for Change.”
