It would be useful if we could get a breakdown by county. At the point when this table was compiled, 4,333 electric vehicles had been purchased so far this year. It would be useful to get a breakdown as to where they were purchased. Obviously, a key issue is the issue of charging points. I know in my county the coverage is pathetic. I think three towns have one charging point and all other towns and villages have none. It seems bizarre that no petrol station that I visit has an electric vehicle charging point. Who is to blame for that?
