EV Charging: The Fastest-Growing Segment in Electrical Installations
The Growth of the EV Market
The demand for electric vehicles in the UK is skyrocketing, with over 1.1 million plug-in cars now registered and EV sales growing by over 40% year-on-year. The government’s target to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 means more homeowners and businesses are looking to install EV charging stations.
The Opportunity for EV Installers
For electricians and EV installers, this growth represents a lucrative opportunity. The EV charging infrastructure market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31% between 2023 and 2030. Installing EV chargers is no longer a niche service – it’s becoming a core part of the electrical trade.

Essential Tips for Electricians and Installers in 2024

Using reliable, high-quality equipment not only ensures the longevity of the installation but also minimises the likelihood of future call-backs. TED stocks equipment from trusted brands, including consumer units, circuit protection devices, and conduits that meet or exceed safety requirements.
