Well, well, well. It looks like the floodgates for electric vehicle chargers are about to burst wide open in 2024. And it’s about time, too. For years, electric car drivers have been struggling to find reliable and accessible charging stations, but it seems that all of that is about to change.
With more and more automakers committing to phasing out internal combustion engines in favor of electric vehicles, the demand for charging infrastructure has never been higher. And in response, energy companies and charging companies are stepping up to the plate.
In fact, according to a recent report, the number of charging points in the UK is set to more than double by 2024, with over 200,000 public chargers expected to be installed by then. That’s a staggering increase, and it’s exactly what the electric car revolution needs.
But it’s not just the quantity of chargers that’s increasing – it’s the speed and convenience, too. The next generation of charging stations will be faster, more efficient, and easier to use, making it even more practical to own an electric vehicle.
And it’s not just in the UK – the floodgates are opening all over the world. In the US, President Biden has announced a $7.5 billion investment in electric vehicle infrastructure, including the installation of half a million charging stations by 2030. And in Europe, the EU has set a target of 3 million public charging points by 2030, with significant funding to support this goal.
It’s clear that the infrastructure for electric vehicles is finally catching up with the vehicles themselves, and that can only be a good thing. With more charging points, faster charging times, and greater convenience, the barriers to electric vehicle ownership are rapidly disappearing.
So, if you’ve been on the fence about making the switch to an electric car, 2024 might just be the year to take the plunge. With an abundance of chargers at your disposal, there’s never been a better time to go electric. Watch out, petrol stations – the electric revolution is coming for you. And it’s about time.
