EVA England has published an updated Constituency Map revealing the areas where public charging rollout is keeping pace with rising EV adoption — and where it is falling behind. For fleets planning electrification routes, home-charger dependencies and driver support, the map provides one of the clearest regional snapshots yet of charging accessibility.
Developed with Field Dynamics and Zapmap, the dashboard maps EV uptake against the availability of slow, fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers in every constituency in England. With EVs now making up nearly a quarter of new car sales and more than 86,000 public charge points installed, EVA England says equitable access is now the single biggest determinant of EV uptake, particularly for the 40% of households without off-street parking.
The map highlights the top-performing areas for households without private charging:
Queen’s Park & Maida Vale, Peckham, Kensington & Bayswater, Islington South & Finsbury, and Hackney South & Shoreditch, where more than 99% of households are within a five-minute walk of a charger. Coventry and Brighton also lead progress outside London.
But the data also exposes constituencies where EV uptake remains below 2%, including Smethwick, West Bromwich, Plymouth Sutton & Devonport, Tipton & Wednesbury and Kingston upon Hull — signalling areas where fleets may face slower driver readiness and weaker charging provision.
EVA England CEO Vicky Edmonds said the tool “shines a light on the real-world experience of drivers… so policy and industry decisions are grounded in lived experience.”
