Doncaster ranks in UK top 10 for EV ownership despite low public charging infrastructure

Doncaster has placed among the UK's top 10 cities for electric vehicle ownership in a study by Wolf River Electric covering 56 locations, recording 617.55 EVs per 10,000 people and electricity costs of £67.45. The city achieves 6.90% of properties with charging facilities, one of the stronger residential access rates in the research, though its public charging network remains comparatively underdeveloped relative to EV numbers.

Why it matters: The gap between high EV adoption and limited public infrastructure in Doncaster signals untapped demand for charge point operators and highlights how residential provision can partially offset public network shortfalls in procurement planning.
