Electric Vehicles: Charging Points

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many public charging points for electric vehicles there are in (a) Lewisham East constituency and (b) the London Borough of Lewisham.

Answer

Data on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK, held by the Department for Transport, are sourced from the electric vehicle charging platform Zap-Map. Charging devices not recorded on Zap-Map are not included and the true number of charging devices may be higher than recorded in these figures.

The below table provides the data requested, as of 1 January 2023.

Constituency

Lewisham East

London Borough of Lewisham

a.) Public charging devices (see note 1)

68

195

1) Zap-Map data counts charging devices publicly available at any given point, with decommissioned chargepoints removed from the data supplied to us. Therefore, the number of installed public chargepoints in each given year is likely to be higher as this accounts for the number decommissioned and removed from the data.
