The RAC has announced that the Government has failed to hit its motorway services high-power EV charger target in 2023. Sue Robinson, chief executive of the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) which represents car and commercial retailers across the UK commented: “It is disappointing to see that the Government has missed a deadline it set to have at least six rapid or ultra-rapid chargers at every motorway service station in England by the end of 2023.”
