What proportion of public electric vehicle charge points met the minimum power output standards for (a) rapid and (b) ultra-rapid charging …

The UK Government Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 define a ‘rapid charge point’ as a charge point capable of delivering a charge of 50kW and above at nominal voltage. Ultra-rapid charging is not defined within the Regulations, but generally refers to 100kw and above charging. No ‘minimum power output standard’ is defined in these regulations.The Scottish Government does not directly hold information on rapid/ultra-rapid chargers across Scotland as a whole. Public EV charging statistics covering the whole of the UK, including combined rapid/ultra-rapid data, is regularly compiled and published by private providers, such as Zap Map. ZapMap displays data broken down by 12 UK regions, of which Scotland is one. The latest statistics show that Scotland continues to have the second highest amount of rapid/ultra-rapid charge points across all regions in the UK.The Scottish Government does have data on the number of rapid and ultra-rapid charge points on the Scottish Government funded ChargePlace Scotland network over the last 5 years.
