Targeted rollout cuts new public EV chargers required by a quarter, study finds

A study reported by Fleet News suggests that a targeted deployment strategy for public EV charging infrastructure could reduce the number of new chargers needed by 25 per cent. The research indicates that strategic placement, rather than blanket rollout, can meet demand more efficiently. The findings come as the UK continues to expand its public charging network.

Why it matters: For CPOs and procurement teams, this research supports data driven site selection and optimised capital allocation, potentially lowering infrastructure costs by a quarter while still meeting coverage targets.
