What Chat GPT has to say on the state of EV charging infrastructure in the UK

Share on social media

Recently, we jumped on the band wagon with ChatGPT. For those who might not know what ChatGPT is, it is an AI built by an organisation called OpenAI. You may have heard of one of their members, a chap by the name of Elon Musk (queue eye roll).

Well, you can pretty much ask ChatGPT anything and it will do it. So, we went and asked it to "write a blog article on the current state of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the United Kingdom in the style of Zoom EV".

What comes next is both awesome and a little scary (mainly because we're not sure we could have written something as good!).


"Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the United Kingdom, as more and more drivers look for ways to reduce their environmental impact. However, one of the main concerns for EV owners is the lack of charging infrastructure in the country. In this blog post, we'll take a look at the current state of EV charging infrastructure in the UK and what needs to be done to improve it.

First, let's take a look at the current state of EV charging infrastructure in the UK. According to the Department for Transport, there are currently around 16,500 public EV charging points in the UK. While this may seem like a lot, it's important to note that many of these charging points are located in city centers and are often difficult to access for drivers in rural areas. In addition, many of these charging points are slow chargers, which can take several hours to fully charge an EV.

Despite the challenges, there have been some positive developments in the EV charging infrastructure in the UK in recent years. For example, the government has invested in a number of new rapid charging points, which can charge an EV in just 30 minutes. In addition, many private companies, such as Zoom EV, are also investing in EV charging infrastructure and developing new technologies to make charging faster and more convenient for EV owners.

However, there is still a long way to go before the UK's EV charging infrastructure is fully developed. In order to meet the government's target of having 100% of new cars and vans to be ultra-low emission by 2030, there needs to be a significant increase in the number of EV charging points in the UK. This includes a greater number of fast charging points, as well as more charging points in rural areas.

In conclusion, the current state of EV charging infrastructure in the UK is mixed. While there have been some positive developments in recent years, there is still a long way to go before the country's EV charging infrastructure is fully developed. The government and private companies need to work together to invest in more EV charging points, as well as new technologies that make charging faster and more convenient for EV owners. At Zoom EV, we believe that it is crucial to continue developing EV charging infrastructure to make EV ownership accessible to all, and we are committed to be part of this journey".

The above is rather impressive and show's just how far AI has come (as well as just how powerful it has become). In due course Microsoft, who are one of Open AI's largest funders, will be embedding the technology within their Bing search engine in order to try and overthrow google.

We will keep you up to date with how the above progresses!
