Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many public electric vehicle chargepoints have been installed in each local authority area in England; and what assessment she has made of the level of regional difference in access to charging infrastructure.
Answered by Keir Mather
The latest data available regarding the number of public charging devices for electric vehicles in each local authority area in England, as of 1 July 2025, can be found in table 1a of the attached document.
Government monitors public charging device roll out on a regional basis through our official statistics. Allocations for the Government’s £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund were designed to address regional differences in public charging infrastructure by accounting for existing levels of public charging infrastructure available across England. This will ensure charging provision develops across the country.
Government also recently announced a £25m grant for local authorities in England to install EV pavement channels. This investment is designed to be an extra tool for local authorities to use in their local charging solutions to support residents to charge.
The below table shows the number of public charging devices and the number per 100,000 of the population in each region of England.

North East | 2,703 | 100.7 |
North West | 5,669 | 75.4 |
Yorkshire and the Humber | 4,141 | 74.7 |
East Midlands | 3,792 | 76.8 |
