According to Zap Map, there are now more charging points in the UK than petrol stations

There has been a huge growth in the number of charging stations recently as more and more people are realising that electrc cars and vans are very much the future.
There is no arguing the health benefits for both people and the planet.
More charging stations make it much easier for electric car and van owners to make longer journeys. They still have to stop for a coffee/ meal recharging break every so often but if there are charge points everywhere it makes it much easier and more enjoyable to do
It typically takes 30-40 minutes to put 80% charg into our battery at a charge point. As ranges get bigger it will become more like a service station stop in a petrol car.
There are also plans to build big charging hubs with shops and restaurants along the main motorways so that you can really enjoy your charging breaks
