National Grid planning electric car charging network
The National Grid, the body responsible for the UK's electricity infrastructure, is reportedly planning a network of 50 high power electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the UK.
It plans to place the 350kW charging stations on the UK's motorway network, potentially putting 90% of the UK's motorists within 50 miles of a charging point. Each charging station could host 50 individual charging points. At current prices, the network may cost around £1bn to install.
