Understand the 2026 Workplace Charging Scheme, £500 socket cap, education funding and closed grants before planning commercial EV charging.

A beginner-friendly guide to EV charging and grid capacity: smart charging, load management, batteries and practical workplace planning.

Understand Geely, BYD and CATL fast-charging announcements, charging windows and why a headline power rating is not a UK installation promise.

Plan commercial EV charging for workplaces, fleets and property portfolios: costs, capacity, charger speeds and installer questions.

A charger labelled 150 kW sounds dramatically better than one labelled 7 kW. For a long motorway journey, it may well be. For a car parked at home all night, that comparison misses the point. Power and time are different things Charging power is measured in kilowatts (kW); the energy added to the battery is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). As a rough illustration, a 7 kW charger running for six hours could deliver about 42 kWh before charging losses and other limits. Actual

Electric-car charging is changing quickly, but not every headline innovation will change your daily routine. The most useful international trends are the ones that make charging easier to find, easier to pay for and more predictable. China: scale and faster public charging The IEA’s Global EV Outlook 2026 reports more than seven million public charging points worldwide at the end of 2025, with China accounting for more than 65%. These are public charging-point figures, not a
