Over 75% of NHS hospital sites lack EV chargers

More than three quarters of NHS hospital sites in the United Kingdom do not have electric vehicle charging infrastructure, according to findings reported by Cinch. The data highlights a significant gap in charging provision across the health service estate, though the report does not specify the total number of sites surveyed or the methodology used.

Why it matters: The finding points to a major procurement opportunity across hundreds of NHS sites as the health service works to decarbonise its fleet and accommodate staff and visitor EV adoption. Charge point operators targeting public sector frameworks may find NHS trusts an underserved segment with potential for large scale rollouts.
