The future of EV charging in 2025

Ultra-fast, smart, and everywhere

As the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to expand, three key trends are shaping the future of EV charging infrastructure in 2025.

1

Expansion of charging networks

To accommodate the growing number of EVs, there is a significant increase in the installation of charging stations. In the UK, over 120 planning applications for new charging stations, totalling more than £500 million, have been approved in the past 18 months. Notable projects include a £100 million charger network across Wales and a £68 million initiative for West Sussex. Local authorities are prioritising charging infrastructure, with planned schemes totalling £692 million. However, challenges such as grid connection delays persist, prompting the government to propose amendments to planning legislation to facilitate faster installations.

Adoption of ultra-fast charging technology

The demand for ultra-fast chargers, capable of recharging an EV’s battery to 80% in as little as 20 minutes, is on the rise. These chargers are essential for long-distance travel and reducing range anxiety among consumers. Businesses and service stations are increasingly installing these high-speed chargers to meet consumer expectations for quick and convenient charging solutions.

3

Standardisation of Charging Connectors

The industry is moving towards standardising charging connectors to ensure interoperability across different EV models and charging stations. Notably, major automakers, including Ford, General Motors, and Mercedes-Benz, have announced plans to adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) for their future EVs. This shift aims to simplify the charging experience for consumers and expand access to charging networks.
