The latest AA EV Readiness Index paints a familiar picture: The UK is moving forward, but not evenly.
Some regions are powering ahead with strong infrastructure, high adoption and growing confidence. Others? Still lagging behind with limited access, lower awareness and slower uptake.
The key insight here isn’t that progress is slow, it’s that it’s uneven.
And that creates a new challenge: An EV transition that works brilliantly in some places… and feels out of reach in others.
From EV Café sofa:
The discussion also touched on consumer confidence, reinforcing a recurring theme:
Access + understanding = adoption
Without both, momentum stalls.
The UK doesn’t have an EV problem, it has a consistency problem.
