Since February 2021, Monta's network has expanded from one charge point to 36,121 active charge points, with 16,000 more expected soon. These charge points have delivered over 3.1 million successful charges.

With 68,273 public charging points across the UK, Monta’s contribution highlights its commitment to expanding the private EV charge point network. Alok Dubey, Monta's regional director, emphasises the need for innovation in both public and private networks, pointing out that most UK charge points are still located at homes or workplaces.

Dubey stresses the importance of offering more service options, including low-voltage destination charging, to meet diverse consumer needs. As EV adoption grows, a mix of fast and slow charge points will be essential to provide choice and reduce reliance on new electricity grids, which will take years to develop. Monta's efforts, alongside government incentives, aim to drive the UK EV market, predicted to reach £28.8bn by 2028.
