The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of public electric vehicle charge points were out of service in (a) November 2025 and (b) each month since July 2024.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department does not hold this information.

The Government is committed to ensuring public charging is reliable, and it is vital that consumers can charge hassle-free. From November 2024, the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 have required operators to achieve an average reliability of 99% across their network of chargepoints of 50 kW and above.
