    What about the infrastructure? It always comes to this for any country, sadly.

      There are over 120,000 public charging points across the UK, with over 25,000 of them being 50kW+ DC. That's averaging more than one charger per square mile of the mainland UK (density distribution of course varies).

        Where I live (central Europe) I noticed that public fast chargers increased by a lot over the last two years in particular.

        Is it the same in the UK?

        Recently they started builing a truck charging facilty on the outskirts of town.

          Many new public charging sites are being built in the UK too, yes. Several thousand rapid charging points in the last year alone.
