EV charging analysis

Without an estimated EV count, it is unclear how strained these resources are, though the low station density implies that early adopters may face competition. Leicester is not a glamour EV city, so investment has not been prioritized, meaning growth in charging points may lag behind adoption. The population context shows a medium-sized urban area where a denser network would better support the shift to electric vehicles.
