Admiral Car Insurance and Zap-Map have teamed up to identify which parts of the UK are best-equipped with the two quickest types of charging points – rapid and ultra-rapid chargers.
According to the companies’ analysis, rapid charging points are most commonly available in the Midlands.
The five UK cities with the most rapid and ultra-rapid chargers are Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Leeds, Birmingham and Coventry.
Nottingham currently leads with 122, with 16 chargepoints between it and its nearest rival, Milton Keynes, which has 106.
Birmingham leads for ultra-rapid devices, with 39 high-powered chargers.
The top 20 cities by number of rapid and ultra-rapid charging devices at the end of April.
Melanie Shufflebotham, co-founder and COO at Zap-Map, said: “As the number of pure-electric cars on the road approaches half a million, a robust charging network is critical.
“Over the past few years there has been huge investment in high-powered chargers and it’s great to see many cities across the UK having a strong provision.
“There are of course a range of different needs when it comes to charging an EV, but continued investment in high-powered chargers for longer journeys is crucial as the number of EVs on the road continues to grow at pace.”
