Charging Ahead: The Future of EV Infrastructure in the UK

The shift towards sustainable energy is becoming increasingly crucial in mitigating the impacts of climate change. In recent months, there has been a focus on this with new funding and grants within electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, taking the UK a step closer to a sustainable future and achieving net zero emissions.

A ‘Plan for Change’ is being implemented by the government, with investments of over £4 billion to support drivers making the switch to EVs. [1] This is being delivered through existing government funding from the £381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, providing support to local authorities across England.

In addition, London-based firm Believ has secured £300 million to roll out 30,000 charging points across the UK.

All of this is alongside an expected £6 billion in private investment to install tens of thousands of chargepoints by 2030, as the government continues to drive investment and support jobs to deliver the ‘Plan for Change’.

More specifically on 13th June 2025, Future of Roads Minister, Lilian Greenwood, confirmed: “The government is powering up the EV revolution by rolling out a charge point every 29 minutes, and our support to roll out over 100,000 local chargepoints in England shows we’re committed to making even more progress”. This comes on top of over 80,000 public charge points already available in the UK. [2]

What does this mean for you?

• Accessibility – Improved access to charge points integrates EV charging into people’s everyday lives.
• Cost Savings – Helps those without a driveway charge easily overnight thanks to LEVI-funded infrastructure.
• Energy and Environmental – Investments in EVI supports the shift towards renewable energy, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. [3]
