Which? responds to ministers calling for EV charging points at tourist destinations

Sue Davies, Which? Head of Consumer Protection Policy, said:

"Electric vehicles perform well in Which?'s tests and are really popular with drivers but our research found that the lack of public chargepoints is a major setback, with more than half (52%) of non EV drivers telling us this was putting them off considering buying an EV.

“To support the 2030 target for a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, the government and chargepoint operators must work together to ensure drivers have confidence they can recharge their EV when they need to and this includes holidays and road trips to attractions like theme parks and other places of interest. Until charging is easy and reliable, fewer people will want to make the move to an electric car.”
