Britain's EV Charging Stations Stop Growing as Government Weakens Electric Car Goals

Electric car charging stations are barely expanding — growing just 10% in early 2026, versus over 40% two years ago. The government is thinking of allowing fewer electric cars on UK roads by 2030, which has spooked companies that invest in charging infrastructure. They won't build more stations without knowing how many EVs will actually need them. Two million electric cars now crowd British roads, but charging networks have stalled.
