EU Introduces New Rules for EV Charging

The European Union is set to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, with new regulations mandating that companies with large parking lots must provide charging spaces starting January 1, 2025. North Yorkshire Council faces pressure from environmentalists to develop home charging solutions for residents without driveways, as electric vehicle ownership rises. Worcester City Council has installed new EV chargers at Tallow Hill car park to improve access for residents lacking off-street charging, backed by government funding. Despite nearly 65,000 public charging points in the UK, a regional disparity persists, particularly affecting the North, which has significantly fewer chargers per capita. Meanwhile, electric vehicle adoption is projected to rise globally, with New York City preparing to mandate EV charger installations in parking garages, driven by state incentives. These developments underscore the growing emphasis on expanding EV charging infrastructure to meet increasing demand and regulatory goals.
