What happened: The UK saw its smallest increase in new electric car chargers since 2022, with 13,500 added by November 2025. This slowdown coincides with carmakers lobbying to ease government targets for EV sales.
Why it matters:
- Slower charger installation may hinder the transition to electric vehicles across the UK.
- Potential impact on EV drivers' convenience and government climate goals.
MNN Take: The reduced pace of charger rollout reflects caution among investors and manufacturers about the speed of EV adoption, affecting infrastructure growth needed for the UK's cleaner transport ambitions.
