North Lanarkshire now has 583 public EV chargers as Scotland exceeds 12,672 nationwide
By Eve
Scotland has deployed over 12,672 public EV charging points, including 583 in North Lanarkshire, according to figures highlighted by MSP Clare Adamson. The country met its 6,000 charger target in 2024, two years ahead of the 2026 deadline, and maintains the highest number of public charging devices per capita of any UK nation. Adamson said she will work with local businesses and private charge point providers to secure further investment in the region.
Why it matters: Scotland's early delivery of its 6,000 charger milestone signals sustained public procurement momentum and a competitive per capita rollout that may inform tender volumes and site selection strategies across UK local authorities. The emphasis on private provider partnerships in North Lanarkshire points to hybrid funding models that CPOs and installers can pursue for future contracts.
