5.5 National Publicly-Accessible

5.5 National Publicly-Accessible Infrastructure Targets

With an estimated number of 195,000 plug-in EVs on the road by 2025, this target could be achieved through a number of different chargepoint scenarios. The table below outlines five example possibilities. The optimum mix of charge points will depend on driver needs, and the ability to deliver the charge points in a timely manner. The most likely outcome is scenario 2, 3, or 4 below. The amount of charge points and kW power required to meet this target will be finalised in 2023.

In addition to addressing each of the four main categories of infrastructure above, ZEVI will ensure that a national fleet-based target will be achieved. An overall fleet-based target will ensure that publicly-accessible charge point infrastructure will meet the demands of EV uptake across the country in both urban and rural areas. An EU target is currently being considered and will form part of AFIR. This target is expected to include, at a minimum, the installation of:

Each one of these new charge points will have to overcome challenges of site availability, planning, electrical connections, resources, and funding.

M1 kW of charging infrastructure for each BEV

and

M0.66 kW of charging infrastructure for each

PHEV
