Fair enough. There is the Westminster Car Club which was launched in 2009 and is run by ZipCar.
Your best approximation would be that in a normal use case people are likely to need an over night charge between 2x and 3x per week. So the current 2500 chargers would service between 6000 and 7500 cars, and of course this excludes the 10% of Westminster who do have the ability to home charge. It also excludes those that can charge at work or at their destination.
There are 124,000 households in Westminster, and in London generally only 54% of people own a car. So that gives us 62,000 households, so, yes, if they all went out and bought and EV there would be work to do but it is one of the best equipped boroughs in terms of EV charge points, and the installation of points is keeping pace with the growth in ownership with a consistent 3:1 ratio.
Does all the above take into account that VED becomes payable on all electric vehicles next year, the recent (April) 1,800% increase by City of Westminster council on parking charges for EV's alone. With a similar increase said to be coming next year? How will those three things affect ownership.
Will workplace charging continue when the incentive is removed next year. I doubt it some how.
Sales of electric vehicles have dropped for the seventh month in a row, due according to the industry, the incentives being withdrawn. They want purchasing incentives to continue, and don't expect sales to rise without them.
City of Westminster council puts private car ownership at 50% of the population, 204,236 in 2021, not per household.
And in 2023 they had a total of 2,693 charging points within their boundaries.
How many of those were private, how many public?
As is often the case it's a simple case of I've managed to do it, everyone else should have no problem doing what I've managed.
