Historically in the UK, uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) has been dominated by those with off-street parking. In fact, a recent report by Deloitte found that nearly 90% of EV drivers currently charge privately. However, if we wish to meet the UK Government's targets of net zero by 2050 and no further sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles after 2030, EV charging will need to be made accessible to those without driveways. Local Authorities and the companies they work with have a significant role to play in infrastructure planning to get ahead of the curve of accelerating EV uptake. This Visualising Transport Geography article investigates whether it is possible to identify locations for public EV chargers which may be more valuable to residents.

从历史上看，在英国，电动汽车 (EV) 的使用量一直以街边停车位为主。事实上，德勤最近的一份报告发现，目前近 90% 的电动汽车司机私下充电。但是，如果我们希望在 2050 年之前实现英国政府的净零排放目标，并且在 2030 年之后不再销售全内燃机汽车，那么就需要让没有车道的人能够使用电动汽车充电。地方当局及其合作的公司在基础设施规划中发挥重要作用，以领先于加速电动汽车的发展。这篇可视化交通地理文章调查是否有可能确定公共电动汽车充电器的位置，这可能对居民更有价值。
