News: Britain’s Electric Car Charging Network Set to Receive 300m Top Up

Energy regulator of Britain is pouring £300m to increase rapid chargers for electrics in a segment of action to speed up the United Kingdom's transfer into green fuel. Ofgem will apply the finance to first of all, the new 3,500 points, as well as 1,800 sites for service stations on motorways. Existing, there are already 918 ultra-rapid charging stations in the UK.

An instant benefit of this, the commissioned project will intend to boost an additional 1,750 chargers of standard level in cities and towns alike.

UK regulations aim to ban new petrol and diesel cars from sale after 2030, lessening hybrid sales after this from 2035.

But released by the PAC, a report communicated a notable challenge in getting to the government aim of swapping cars to net zero emissions models during this decade period, as a result of lacking infrastructure- yet this only strengthens the impact made by the new finance being used install more chargers.

Ofgem confirmed the sum would be paid into charging within the next two years, helping York, Glasgow, Kirkwall, Warrington, Llandudno and Truro to name a few. If you live in these areas, or travel in an EV passing through, all the better for you drivers.

A number of chargers will be aimed at commuters at train stations in Wales; the Mid and North.

It increases £40bn committed already for green energy projects for seven years, more promised by Ofgem in 2022. Of course, the Transport Minister approved this as it raises the resilience of the UK's charging network.

With more than 500,000 electric cars now on UK roads, this will help to increase this number even further as drivers continue to make the switch to cleaner, greener vehicles. Rachel McLean, Transport Minister.
