Labour's electric vehicle rollout risks leaving millions of drivers behind, according to GB News. Local councils have warned they cannot guarantee accessible charging for disabled people, and local authorities are struggling to install EV charge points that work for everyone. Narrow streets, limited space, and a lack of clear guidance from the Government are slowing progress on EV charge point installation, multiple reports indicate.
Despite these hurdles, tens of thousands of charging posts have been installed in all municipalities in the country in just a few years. Electric cars are too few in many areas, and chargers are used far too little, according to multiple reports. The Energy Agency warns of a risk that charging stations may be forced to close due to underutilization.
This warning comes even as the number of electric cars is increasing rapidly nationwide. The rapid increase in electric cars can create problems for both residents and commuters, multiple reports suggest.
