A 重要な 'driveway divide' has 現れるd の中で Britain's electric car owners with the 広大な 大多数 of 存在するing drivers having 接近 to homechargers 任命する／導入するd at their 所有物／資産／財産s as their 最初の／主要な energy source.

Almost seven in ten (69 per cent) 存在するing electric 乗り物 (EV) owners 投票d said they mostly 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 their cars at home - which is the cheapest 解答s.?

In contrast, just 14 per cent use the public 非難する 網状組織 as their main 供給（する） of electricity for their 乗り物s, which is twice as expensive.

The 報告（する）／憶測 最高潮の場面s the 相当な cost and practicality 利益s for those who live in 所有物／資産／財産s with off-street parking, which in turn makes EVs いっそう少なく 控訴，上告ing to those living in flats or houses without garages and driveway. And it is also 与える／捧げるing to the 最近の 減産／沈滞 in take-up of electric cars.

Only 14% of EV drivers using expensive public charging points as their main energy source, while 69% primarily use their cheaper homechargers, a new report has found. This is putting those without off-street parking at a major disadvantage in the switch to electric cars

Only 14% of EV drivers using expensive public 非難する points as their main energy source, while 69% まず第一に／本来 use their cheaper homechargers, a new 報告（する）／憶測 has 設立する. This is putting those without off-street parking at a major disadvantage in the switch to electric cars

The remaining 17 per cent of EV owners 投票d said they use a combination of both home and public 非難する - or 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 their cars at their workplace.?

賃貸し（する）ing company Zenith 設立する that over half (52 per cent) of EV drivers would 直面する '重要な difficulties' if they were 軍隊d to rely 単独で on public 非難する, based on findings from a 調査する of nearly 2,800 of the 会社／堅い's 顧客s.

非難する provider Cord recently showed the 不平等 between a 月毎の spend on 非難する 経由で public chargers compared to home 非難する, with those unable to plug in at home 不公平に stung with much higher costs.

While homecharging 排他的に at off-頂点（に達する） hours could cost as little as £17, the 月毎の cost of 非難する at home during 頂点（に達する） times worked out at £56.

For those using the public 非難する 網状組織, they can 推定する／予想する to 支払う／賃金 £109-a-month when using a variety of 装置s 供給するing different 速度(を上げる）s.

The price gap gets even greater if they 排他的に plugged into 早い public chargers. In this instance, they can 推定する／予想する their 月毎の 非難する 去っていく／社交的な to rise to £155, which is almost three times the cost of using a homecharger.

The cost of charging an EV at home - even during peak times - is around half the price of using the public network

Over half (52%) of electric car owners would face significant difficulties relying solely on the public charging network

Charging provider cord recently showed the disparity between a month spent charging at public chargers compared to home charging, with those unable to charge at home unfairly stung with much higher costs

The 研究 also 設立する that, in the 12 months since it published its first EVX (EVXperience) 報告（する）／憶測 last year, EV drivers have become いっそう少なく 満足させるd with the 範囲 of their cars (7.7/10 負かす／撃墜する to 6.7/10), and the experience of 非難する, 減ずるing from 8.1/10 to 7.4/10.?

The 報告（する）／憶測 comes a?week after the （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 failed to take 活動／戦闘 to 減ずる the 財政上の 重荷（を負わせる） of owning an EV without off-street parking.

Calls to 削除する 付加価値税 on public 非難する from 20 to 5 per cent to bring it in-line with home 非難する in his Spring 予算 were ignored, as were requests for a fresh 上げる in EV incentives to kickstart public 需要・要求する.

The 自動推進の 産業 非難するd the 政府's 欠如（する） of fresh EV 政策s, 説 it had '行方不明になるd a 大規模な 適切な時期' to 上げる 病んでいる electric car sales.

公式の／役人 人物／姿／数字s show that sales of EVs to ordinary drivers fell by almost a fifth in the first two months of 2024.

Of nearly 40,000 new electric cars 登録（する）d in January and February, just 6,500 were 購入（する）d by individuals. The 残りの人，物 were snapped up by (n)艦隊／(a)素早い 賃貸し（する）ing companies as a result of lucrative 課税 利益s, 含むing the salary sacrifice 計画／陰謀.

The 減少（する）-off in public appetite for EVs is now starting to 原因（となる） 関心, 特に around the 実現可能 of Britain 達成するing its 逮捕する 無 的s.?

Yet にもかかわらず these 関心s, EV drivers told Zenith they remain 楽観的な about the 未来 for EV 採択 in the UK.?

The Government to have 300,000 public charging points across the UK by 2030 and Zapmap data suggest this target is achievable

The 政府 to have 300,000 public 非難する points across the UK by 2030 and Zapmap data 示唆する this 的 is achievable

Over four fifths (82 per cent) say they 推定する／予想する the 非難する 組織／基盤／下部構造 to 改善する over the next three years.

The 政府 has 約束d to have 300,000 public 非難する points across the UK by 2030 - and Zapmap data 示唆する this 的 is achievable.

It 予報するs the 100,000th charger will be 任命する／導入するd 最新の by August 2025, with snowball growth from then on.

Both Zenith data and 非難する-場所 provider Zapmap 予測（する） '範囲 苦悩' could become a thing of the past as the size and 質 of the 非難する 網状組織 grows.

Tim Buchan, CEO, Zenith, said: 'The number of 殴打／砲列 EVs on the road has 増加するd 速く, so it is no surprise that building a public 非難する 網状組織 to support it was going to be a 抱擁する 請け負うing.

'進歩 is 存在 made, with the number of 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 points growing 46 per cent in January 2024 compared to last year, and 多重の new 革新s in play, such as 変えるing BT green boxes into 非難する 中心s.'

Like other 専門家s, Zenith is calling on the 政府 to do more to help the switch to electric.

The Society of モーター 製造業者s and 仲買人s (SMMT) wants the 政府 to 廃止する VED 率s 連合させるd with lower 付加価値税 on new EV sales and 減ずるd 付加価値税 on the public 非難する 網状組織 to make EVs more 控訴，上告ing to new 買い手s.

Without these 税金 incentives, 製造業者s are going to find it hard to 会合，会う the 無 放出／発行 乗り物 (ZEV) 委任統治（領） 的s?要求するd because 私的な 買い手s won't want to 変える to electric.

失敗 to 会合，会う the ZEV threshold - which starts at a 22 per cent 株 of all sales in 2024 and rises to 80 per cent by 2030 - will result in £15,000 罰金s for 製造業者s per 乗り物 below the 的.?

Electric future: The ZEV mandate will force car makers to sell an increasing volume of EVs between now and 2035

Electric 未来: The ZEV 委任統治（領） will 軍隊 car 製造者s to sell an 増加するing 容積／容量 of EVs between now and 2035

In response to the lack of EV incentives in the Spring Budget, Fiat UK said: ' We are sleepwalking into an electric vehicle crisis'

In 返答 to the 欠如（する） of EV incentives in the Spring 予算, Fiat UK said: ' We are sleepwalking into an electric 乗り物 危機'

After the disappointing 欠如（する） of EV incentives in the 予算, マイク Hawes, SMMT 大統領, said: '減ずるing 付加価値税 on new EVs, 改訂するing 乗り物 課税 to 促進する rather than punish going electric, and an end to the 付加価値税 ‘pavement 刑罰，罰則’ on public 非難する would have energised the market.?

'With both 政府 and 産業 having statutory 必要物／必要条件s to 配達する 逮捕する 無, more still needs to be done to help 消費者s make the switch.'

Bucham echoes this: 'There is a serious 危険 that the EV 移行 will be 延期するd if より悪くするing public perceptions of the 網状組織 are not 演説（する）／住所d.?

'To get there, we need the 政府 to equalise 付加価値税 on public 非難する, an 適切な時期 行方不明になるd in the 予算 last week, and 上げる capacity by スピード違反 up grid 関係s for 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 point providers.'
