METREL, test equipment manufacturer, says the unreliable charging infrastructure is preventing the EV (electric vehicle) roll out, according to an article in Autocar and this is hardly surprising given the ad hoc manner of the development of the infrastructure and the lack of strategic control.
Today apparently there are in the region twenty eight thousand charging stations in the UK, of which ten thousand of these are privately owned.
