Range anxiety? EV charging sites now outnumber petrol stations | Good Energy / Zap Map
“As of yesterday, 28 May, there are 8,546 charging locations across the UK, hosting a total of 13,688 charging devices. In contrast, as of the end of April, there are currently only 8,400 petrol stations in the UK, a figure which is continuing to decline. “

Me:The transition in the UK is underway. More EV sites than petrol stations (though there are more individual pumps as each stations has 4 to 12 pumps) according to this study. And I’m not sure if they are all in the right places.
