This shows the total number of publicly available electric vehicle non-Rapid Charging Devices. It is the total of Rapid Charging Devices, including Ultra Rapid Charging Devices subtracted from the overall total of devices. As of 1st October 2023, the speed categories changed to be in line with industry. Rapid Charging Devices are those whose fastest connector is rated at 50 kilowatt (kW) or above. Previously, this was 25kW or above. A device can have a number of connectors of varying speeds. Due to the changes in speed categories, the timeseries should be intrepreted with caution.

Slow Charging Devices represents 3kW to 6kW, Fast Charging Devices represents 7kW to 22kW, Rapid Charging Devices represents 25kW to 100kW and Ultra Rapid Charging Devices represents 100kW plus. As of 1st October 2023 the speed categories changed, they are now 3kW to 8kW, 8kW to 49kW, 50kW to 149kW and 150kW and above.

Public location categories are:

On street - Charging devices located on residential streets only.
En route - Charging devices located for charging to continue a journey. Located in motorway service areas, service stations, electric forecourts and ferry terminals. Additionally 50kW and above charging devices in hotels, restaurants and attractions.
Destination - Charging devices located at the end of an Electric Vehicle journey or where a driver may typically stop for an extended period of time. Consists of both 50kW and above and 49kW and below charging devices located in retail car parks, car parks, leisure, education areas and transport (except ferries), in addition 49kW and below charging devices located at hotels and restaurants.
Other - Charging devices which are semi-public with some level of access restrictions such as workplace car parks and dealership forecourts.
