Current charge point per head metric fails to reflect regional variations effectively

Conclusion
The Department’s current measure of the number of ‘charge points per head’ in each region does not reflect the variations within regions, or what is required in the future.12 We challenged the Department as to what it would do if the distribution of charge points did not improve ahead of the 2030 target. The Department responded that whilst these would be matters for a future spending review, it does regularly monitor the situation to ensure they have an overview of the situation and can see if issues of concern emerge.13 The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) programme
