Public Charging Points Not Keeping Up With EVs
Discussion
Perhaps no surprises, but I thought this story in the Times was interesting yesterday. It's behind a paywall

"While sales of electric cars are booming, the provision of re-charging infrastructure is not. It found that a year ago there was one public charging point for every 16 plug-in cars on the road. That figure is now one for every 32. There are also large regional disparities. The figure is one charger for every ten plug-in cars in London. In the northwest and southwest, the ratios are more than 60 electrified cars for every public chargepoint."
I've certainly noticed Tesla chargers getting much busier over the past year.
Also this which again I don't think is a surprise, but interesting to see some numbers on it
"The report also stated that fiscal incentives are behind the boom in zero-emission electric company cars — and why there are so many Teslas around. Yet only a third of electric car acquisitions are made by private buyers."
