The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the number of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging points per hundred thousand people in (a) England, (b) Scotland, (c) Wales, and (d) Northern Ireland on 1 December 2024.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The number of publicly available electric vehicle charging devices per 100,000 population by country of the UK is published as part of the department’s quarterly electric vehicle public charging infrastructure statistics.

These statistics are published quarterly so an equivalent summary as of 1 December 2024 is not available. Data as of 1 January 2025 is given in the table below:

Country

Charging devices per 100,000 population

England

111.0

Wales

99.9

Scotland

112.7

Northern Ireland

35.6
