Electric vehicle charging
This guide will help service area operators understand the key considerations when planning EV charging at their site.
The rollout of public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the country is advancing rapidly. National Highways is working with central government and industry to support the rollout of an EV charging network that is easy to use, reliable and available when and where drivers need it most.
Service areas play a crucial role in giving drivers the confidence to transition to electric vehicles. By offering reliable, easy‑to‑use charging, you can help reduce ‘charge anxiety’ and make long‑distance travel simpler for everyone.
Our five-step approach will help you make informed decisions and play a leading role in improving EV charging across the strategic road network.
The guide focuses on charging for cars and vans. Separate guidance for electric heavy goods vehicles will be available in the future.
